Is there any burden of proof on atheists to disprove the existence of a god? [Spirituality & Religion]

I would say no because atheism is not a claim to know god is not real but a position that the evidence is insufficient to accept the claim that a god exists.

I say maybe because I'm not for sure but I'm leaning towards yes.

I'm not sure if logic in mathematics is used in the right way here but saying you can't disprove a negative is pesudologic because there are many proofs that can substantiate negative claims in economics, science and mathematics. There can be also [b]multiple claims[/b] during a debate so the burden of proof regardless of positive or negative content of the claim doesn't matter.

But isn't the question more is there any burden of proof at all to saying "i'm not convinced by your claim" ?
