I'm a theist (not religious; there is a big difference). I laugh at those on both sides who claim to be 100% sure that there either is or is not a God. You can't be sure, and you both certainly can't be right. It's funny that there can be two people sitting beside each other at a hockey game, and one is 100% sure there is a God and the other is 100% sure there is not.

I consider myself an agnostic theist. My wife is, I think, 100% sure there is a God. I think she's wrong, not wrong that there is no God but wrong in the sense that this is unknowable. I know people who are 100% sure there is no God; they're also wrong.

For those who answered the poll 100% either way, how in the world can you possibly know that? You can't.
