I think you hit the nail firmly on the head. Saying that we don't have any evidence there isn't an afterlife is simply shifting the burden of proof which is a Christian tactic. The fact that there has never been any evidence of an actual afterlife, not to mention the fact that nobody's ever discovered a human soul, how it functions, or how anyone could possibly retain consciousness after death doesn't mean that we have to prove beyond any doubt that there definitely isn't an afterlife. Once Christians (or even just life after death believers) work out all those details beyond any doubt, then we'll talk.
I don't believe in unicorns, either, even though I can't prove that they're not real.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
