Surely that’s not how the burden of proof works? Isn’t it the whole point of Russell’s Teapot? The burden of proof isn’t on the atheist, so to speak. We make no claim. Theists on the other hand make the claim that there is a god, something that I would argue is by its very definition impossible to prove. That’s the whole point of “belief”.

Personally I think there are idiots everywhere, amongst atheists as well as theists. I think people should be allowed to believe what they want, as long as they don’t try to make me follow their belief system.
