you don't believe in god, don't know if there is one of not, but are willing to be convinced either way if a good proof comes along.
That's me as well, then. What were we arguing about, exactly, throughout the day? In the long run, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes

Making a decision.
I am a weak atheist who even has time for the religious gnostic argument, that you can know the truth of a religion by faith. Only: as all kinds of religions have believers who think faith was a route to Truth for them, which one to try first?
Similarly, as long as none of them seems more well-founded than a couple of others, you don't need to pose 'absolute' standards of proof for various gods and religions.
A further issue is whether you see the knowability of the existence of gods as a question different from say the knowability of the existence of Saturn or giant squids or fairies or toothbrushes (and that would lead to a whole discussion about the meaning of "to know"). *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
