In the absence of any compelling reason to believe, the rational course is to not believe.

We don't have aSanta-Clausists, aFairyists, aUnicornists. People simply don't believe.

I think that this depends as to whether you take a strong or weak atheist perspective. I tend towards the strong view and thus attract a burden of proof.
