Atheists don't realize asking for evidence of God is a strawman

Or, how about if someone claims Superman exists, and tells me the evidence can be found in Superman #1.

What does the claimaint have to do to make a convincing case that their claim is true?

All I'm saying is context matters. When you say "superman exists" in what context do you mean? If you mean in a comic book context then all you have to do is scream "help me superman" and jump out of a window or top of a building or something and you'll get the proof you want. But if you're just telling me "superman exists" there is no context there, when a Christian says "God exists" he means that in a religious context and we know that within that context he is right.
