I for one am really annoyed that theists think "calling out" atheists have the same lack of evidence for their beliefs they do somehow strengthens their position.
They scoff, and they go "See?! You have a belief just as unfounded as ours is in <God doesn't exist>: you have no evidence he doesn't!"
...And they completely ignore, scoff, and titter every time it's pointed out that while atheists can't prove a negative, there's not only no evidence for God's existence, but an enormous amount of evidence that God is an unnecessary extra complicated idea on top of "we don't know" that doesn't stand up to Occam's Razor.
They don't care. They're so convinced of the validity of their belief in the complete lack of evidence, somehow straw-manning Atheist disbelief as a similar irrational belief is a victory for them.
And it's sad. It's pathetic. But they're too busy trumpeting victory from the rooftops to even notice.
