Sorry but the burden of proof, as you call it, is on you. Otherwise, it means you would first - if no proof - assume there is no God. Which is contradictory.
No, no, & no.
Who here is positing that a god exists? If the answer is you (it is), then that's where the burden of proof resides. Us saying 'I don't believe you' doesn't shift and burden onto us. Occam's razor dismantles any attempt to shift the BOF where someone will disingenuously posit that the default is god exists.
It's time for you to recognise this fact or leave, because frankly if you can't spot a fundamental point of reasoning such as this, you're wasting everyone's time, including your own.
