It sounds like you're saying you are agnostic and so is everyone else like it or not. You know you should then had one option for your poll: Agnostic.
You made a choice for yourself and spoke about how you feel, but how can you speak for other people? Would you be equally open to a comment that everyone is an atheist, or everyone believes in God? To me, no one can assume they know that other people "can't know there is a God." You don't know what they mean by the word "know," what they mean by "God," you don't know the importance of God is in their life to make that statement that they know there is a God.

Strong agnosticism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I think that little article perfectly answers your questions. Keep in mind I'm still developing my religious beliefs; just last week I considered myself atheist.
