Because I cannot prove you wrong. I cannot prove there is a God. But I acknowledge it. On the other hand, you are saying that I need to prove to you there is a God. Which comes back to my original point. If I were able to demonstrate to you there is a God, I would be sitting on a pile of money, because not even the Pope can do that.

Yup. It's because you're making a positive claim (god exists), whilst we're saying "I don't believe you".

As to the reason why I don't believe in any god thus far posited? No evidence.
