It is insisting that you know something that cannot be known.
I beg to differ. From a scientific viewpoint, there is no credible evidence for the supernatural, and therefore gods, God, angels, demons, demiurges, ghosts, sprites, fairies, gremlins, nymphs, satyrs, unicorns, centaurs, Santa, the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, and the list goes on. As such, we can confidently presume that these things do not exist, other than as concepts in the human mind.
If you say we cannot know that God, etc., does not exist, then you are implying there is a possibility there is a God, etc. That’s not atheism, but agnosticism.
