"God does not exist," is a true statement and the final one.
To say God exists is to utter a conjecture. It is not even a hypothesis because a hypothesis is testable. A theory is a hypothesis that has passed tests and been shown to be having a real truth value.
God statements are untestable and therefore have no truth value.

Let's see:
a priori
1. from a general law to a particular instance; valid independently of observation. Compare a posteriori (def. 1).
2. existing in the mind prior to and independent of experience, as a faculty or character trait. Compare a posteriori (def. 2).
3. not based on prior study or examination; nonanalytic: an a priori judgment.
Which meaning? I wouldn't say so. Since God let me know He is there concurrent with my prayer to Him. But that doesn't mean that anyone else couldn't be making it an a priori statement.
A lot of people can say, " That wasn't God that you experienced". But that would be an a priori statement, don't ya think?

Since its obviously very easy to 'entertain' the possibility that god does not exist, its certainly not a priori.

'God exists' is actually a nonsense statement since there is no agreement on what a 'god' is.

its not based on logic but on faith (it might also have something to do with spiritual intelligence)
