When it comes to practical matters you either believe or you don't (as you said about the "existence of a god"). "Don't know" is a theoretical distinction which goes indeed to the question "Is there a god?"

But you can't seriously believe if you answer "I don't know if there's a god" to that. If otoh the question is "Do you believe?" then "Don't know" doesn't seem like a sufficient answer.
