The Burden of Proof: Theists of SW, do you believe that an atheist has a burden of proof when it comes to their lack of belief in a god [Spirituality & Religion]
or their rejection of the claim that a god exists?
If you say no, then i agree. If you say yes, then let's discuss.

No and anybody who says yes is not thinking through this clearly.
However, I always find it curious as to the amount of time some atheists spend on religion. Why the interest in something most atheists find so repugnant? (general question, not directed necessarily at you)
No and anybody who says yes is not thinking through this clearly.
Yes. How do they know that God, Yahweh, doesn't live if they can't show evidence for their claims? BTW, it's not about religion, never has been or ever will be about religion.
Ah but you've already made a mistake. They don't know that a god doesn't exist. They simply have not seen sufficient evidence or reason to accept the claim that one does.
