I dont claim to know every possibility that could theoretically exist but theres a difference between thinking something could POSSIBLY exist and believing that it indeed does exist.

Good, I would say that anyone who claims to know the ultimate reality about everything is at best seriously deluded, don't you think?

But that's just what atheists do. By completely discarding the possibility of some sort of deity existing they're making a huge assumption about reality.

And yet there is no argument strong enough to make you completely discard the possibility of some sort of deity existing. It's quite simply intellectual irresponsibility to do so.

It's much more sensible, not to mention interesting, to allow for the possibility and explore the possibility. Which sort of deity can we actually rule out, and which not? More importantly, why can we rule these out and not others? And what exactly would be the implications of such a deity existing?

You don't have to immediately commit to the idea, you know. And certainly not to any specifics of it.
