I personally think the only epistemically defensible position is Agnosticism, not atheism. Related to this, I think it is unfortunate because, as a Hopeful Agnostic, I tend to think it’s precisely here—in the realm of uncertainty between Belief and Disbelief—where the really interesting questions are in philosophy of religion.I would say that the stronger epistemic position is theism. As mathematician John Lennox says, "the mathematical intelligibility of nature is evidence for a rational spirit behind the universe." It seems more in accordance with things as we experience them to presume a Logos or Tao.
