If, however, the atheist is saying they do believe God does not exist, then they do bear some burden, but still not as much as the theist.

I see your point , but what bothers me is that some just use this to avoid providing an argument wich in fact is contradictory. I think the burden of proof is a statement that clearly says people should back up their stance with an argument.


Not believing in the mind boggling thing you call 'God' isn't quite my "stance".  Not being convinced you're not just talking gibberish dosn't really tell you much about what I think.  It's more commentary on your weird idea.
