It is indeed a binary choice, you just don't appear to want to accept that.

Question: Do you believe in god?

"a. I dont not know if God exists or not"

Great. Not an answer to the question, but fine.

"b. I dont not think it knowable if God exists or not"

Again, not an answer to the question. Both these answers would be suitable for the question "Does god exist," however.

"c. I do not know if I believe in God or not, because it is asinine to simply "choose" when you dont have any knowledge on which to base that choice."

So you don't know if you believe in Santa Clause, the Tooth Fairy, or Invisible Pink Unicorns, either?

The default position is atheism. It's how you were born. We were all born without a belief in god. That belief was taught to us. You either have it, or you don't.

Why you believe or don't believe is a whole different question. The existence of that belief is what the original question addresses. To not know if you believe in something is akin to saying you don't know if you are standing or sitting.

The key that you keep missing through all of this is that the question of god's existence doesn't enter this at all.
