Atheists don't need a case, just as a-unicornists don't need a case against the existence of unicorns, or a-chucacabraists don't need a case against the existence of chucacabras. Lack of evidence is sufficient and I would consider a person quite foolish who did believe in such things without reasonable evidence.
Humans are incredibly inventive at making things up and we've been making up various gods/spirits/boojums/djinns/demons forever.
Therefore, all case of "x exists", need to be followed with "and the evidence of existence is....".
It remains beholden on the claimant to prove their claim, not the other way around.
