As an Atheist I have to say "Yes". We have special clubs where we are told all the knowledge in the world.
Its great.

That's not posed in a leading, prejudical way, at all! (I hope you read the sarcasm in that). I know of no atheists who claim to have all the knowledge in the world, they just have their own arguments as to why they are convinced this is not the case. I would venture to guess, by the way you phrased your question that you are not an atheist. Do you have all the knowledge in the world to say there is a God? Of course not. Yet you (or if I am mistaken about your beliefs, any theist, Christian or otherwise) would likely say that you "know there is a God", and cite all sorts of convincing (to you) evidence for your beliefs. Obviously, if you didn't find your evidence convicing, you wouldn't believe the way you do. Atheists are the same way. They see a different evidence set and choose to believe it. You don't have to listen to them, they don't have to listen to you.
Either way, since God (whether you believe or no) would not be of this world, but of a higher, spiritual plane, all the knowledge in the world wouldn't help you very much, now would it?

I know that God does not exist. I may not have all the knowledge in the world but some things are just that simple.
Does an theist have all the knowledge in the world to say there is a God?

Do I need all the knowledge in the world to say that finding a four-leaf clover isn't going to change my 'luck', that there's no evidence for flying saucers or that Princess Diana was not assassinated?
And yet lots of people do believe these things. In fact they are convinced they are true. Despite evidence (or lack thereof) which persuades me that they are not.
Same with God. The evidence which persuades you that there is a God, does not persuade me. If it's enough for you, then shouldn't it be enough for me too?

We don't need to have all the knowledge in the world to know that god is just a fairy tale.

Knowledge of God is to study.
Believing in God is Faith.
Some people think they are smarter than God.
I know of several Atheist, that have accepted religion and God in their life.
If those who can't believe in God would do well to believe in themselves and try to care, be kind, have ethics, honesty and treat their fellow man as they would like to be treated.
It can't hurt to believe and have faith.
What if? Who Knows for absolute sure? But what if?

More knowledge than someone who simply follows what he has been told who says there is without questioning it. at least the atheist has tried to prove it one way or the other. Most of us WERE religious at one time.

This atheist doesn't bother to say there's no God. I say "I don't believe in God" and I say I've seen no evidence to suggest the existence or necessity for any kind of god.
I'd say nice try, but it wasn't really, was it?

NO.. NOBODY knows for sure whether or not there really is a God or not.. People that believe in God only have faith.. And faith is NOT knowledge.. Faith is believing in something (that you cannot scientifically prove is real).. God cannot be scientifically proven nor disproven.. Therefore, nobody really knows for sure whether or not there is really a God!! Hope I don't get too many thumbs down for this one lol

I agree with you to the extent that I don't claim their is no god. I don't know if there is or not.
I disagree with you to the extent ( implied by this sight, not you) that you can't know of the non-existence of certain gods. That would take all knowledge.
I don't know if god exists or not. I know the god of the fundies does not exsist. That only takes first grade logic.
