I tire of how many times I must explain the burden of proof to dimwits.
The burden of proof is upon the one making the extraordinary claim. Claiming there is no god is not an extraordinary claim due to the very fact that there is absolutely no proof of his existence. The extraordinary claim is made by the theist who states that a god exists when there is zero evidence to support his existence. Therefore, the burden of proof is on the theist since it is always the theist making the extraordinary claim.
