What if you've thought about it a lot and the answer is "I don't know"? I think it's a reasonable answer--in fact, I would stand by it as not being a cop out at all.
My elaboration would be "there's no evidence for the existence of God." But that's silly in a way, because why would there be? God exists outside the realm of the material and observable? Also, to borrow Rummy's phrase, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. I believe in conclusions that follow logically from evidence, and right now the evidence points to "I don't know."
With that said, I don't practice religion, and I'm not moved by the ceremony or liturgy of practicing Christianity. But I'm hardly alone in that.
