It's laughable that some members here don't even recognize it as a fallacy. Maybe some links to "serious" references should reassure them? Since they seem so distrustful of anything a theist might say

Even the anti-religious website RationalWiki has a "category mistake" entry
https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Category_mistake

According to rationalwiki (not a christian or wahabi website, mind you), a category mistake happens when one confuses the properties of the whole with the properties of the parts, and therefore be guilty of committing two fallacies: the fallacy of composition AND the fallacy of division. 

Umm, no. You are lying again. A category mistake is about "confusing the properties of the whole with the properties of a part." As an example "Because no individual human being is powerful enough to affect the climate of Earth, anthropogenic climate change is impossible."

That does not apply if I say "tooth fairy has an equal amount of evidence for its existence as Abrahamic God - which is none".

And it still doesn't make someone wanting you to prove your god a fallacy.

What it all is is a burden of proof fallacy on your part which you are trying to avoid by projection fallacy.
Also, need I point out that Rational Wiki Article says it's an informal fallacy, and nowhere does it apply the fallacy to comparing God to another supernatural being with no evidence of their existence. In fact, rational wiki itself has pointed out the similarities between belief in god and imaginary figures.
