Please don't answer because i'm just joking about throwing in the red herring of burden of proof in the discussion when its not needed. I don't need to discuss burden of proof to listen to your view.
I agree the power to change things does lie with the people. The question really is why don't they ? or what are the real barriers ?and I would contend that in this modern world religion is not the barrier but is often used as red herring to hide the real causes of psycho- socio-economic inequalites that are wrecking this world and creating the proverbial time bomb.
Statement of fact, sorry that bothers you, but that is your baggage, not mine. If you want to believe the earth is flat, I won't stop you, but it is not, and that belief was once widely popular but still just as false and delusional as the idea of a disembodied magical being.
I was joking as it doesn't bother me, its just that if I was to say similar but from the opposite end of the spectrum of this Atheist/Thiest pole I would immediately be jumped on with "burden of proof" which I have disagree with so would do to others here.
