Can you back that up with any data? Last I heard, Russia was predominantly Christian, and China was a mix of Buddhism, Taoism, and various others (non-theism included).

No more than you can disprove it with lack of data.

Originally isn't the burden of proof more on the positive claim?

Just as why the burden of proof is on the claim that God exists more than he doesn't exist. Although both are claims that require evidence (at least if made as absolute statements) of course.

I may have phrased this post badly but I hope you and/or someone else gets where I'm coming from.
