There's a big difference between not being sure about the Judeo-Christian "God" and not being sure about some deity in general.

The first (believing in the Christian God, or not being sure) is clearly ignorant and can be dismissed out of hand by people with an ounce of critical thought in their brains. The second (not being sure about deities in general) is a more than fair result. I happen not to agree with it, but it is a fair conclusion to come to given the universe we inhabit.
