243. You don't know if you believe?

You misunderstand the question.

"Do you believe in a god?" is binary. You can't answer "I don't know" anymore than you can make that response to a question like, "Are you awake?" You either are or you aren't. Do or don't.

"Is there a god?" is trinary, with an agnostic option.

Unless you don't know your own mind.

Again, you can be an agnostic atheist, or an agnostic theist, or a gnostic theist, or a gnostic atheist.
