Yes you automatically know it right? How do you think you know without having to be told it.
It is from a personal experience that I had.
Choosing to be on the safe side will be the first step on this.
Trying to prove the existence or non existence of god...
do not think the first step to proving that magical unicorns live in Saturn's core is the first step in learning. I think the first steps in proving such a claim is to research and if proof comes forward, then you are justified in believing.
Just my quick opinion on this. One should not have to prove God does not exist. The burden or proof is on the person making the claim.

Your decisions are based on your observations. You already have a knowledge unto yourself. If your observations agree with that knowledge, you know within yourself that it is right. If what you observe on the outside contradicts what you feel on the inside, what do you do about it?
A reason to believe that God exists is that the mathematical probability of life even existing can be said to be impossible. Not only life, but also everything on this planet in order to host life is nearly perfect. So perfect that we are without excuse. The truth of creation is obvious in what we observe.
You have likely heard that it is impossible to prove that God exists. You have heard wrong. Not only can the existence of God be proven, denying the proof undermines rational thought. It is true that God does not need anyone, let alone me, to prove His existence.The existence of God is so obvious that we are without excuse for denying it. No one needs proof that God exists.
Even the Bible does not argue the existence o9f God.
It assumes we are at least that intelligent.
TRUTH is everything that complies with REALITY.
It doesn't mean you must be able to see it.
Have you seen the wind? electricity? god? an unicorn? life?
I'm guessing you already believe in a lot of things that you can not see.

All truth out there on the table for all to see.
This thread is very good proof of God

Life is not impossible. Just extremely improbable. And perhaps the planet is the way it is due to natural explanations that led up to this event. I don't see how a God would need a part in this.

So there's nothing wrong on making a decision "just to be safe". It's a step, before many others.
I have not seen the wind, but I can prove it is so. The wind is the movement of air. How to prove Air exists? You can feel it. You can research it and find that it is made of tiny atoms. Electricity can be seen through lightning, or sparks. I have not experienced God or a unicorn. Life can be proven to exist by seeing and looking and experimenting.
