You are ignorant about theism. That's cool; you don't have all the time in the world. But don't confidently assert that something is not likely to be true when you clearly know very little about it. This is an important part of rationality.

You confidently assert my ignorance. That assertion is notable.

you have seen significantly less evidence than I have.

You're much more confident of this than I am. You should be more hesitant.
