The request for evidence is not unreasonable. Theists themselves do it every single day they're presented with a claim that they don't believe without it (I have a ball in my right hand behind my back).
But as soon it comes to their un-evidenced sky fairy they immediately default to "Well you've got to have faith!" Well I'm sorry, but for the same reason you ask for evidence of the ball, I ask for evidence of your version of whatever god it is you worship. It's not complicated. The default 'I don't believe you' is the only valid position to take when confronted with a supernatural claim. If others want to believe it, then fine, that's their choice. But I'm not going to kowtow to threats or indoctrination just because someone says I should.
