Typical standard old tired tropes. An atheist has no obligation to prove a negative, i.e. the absence of a deity. The religious make great claim about a deity. It is their oobligation to provide the evidence..

Atheists are NOT going on faith as you assert. That is a measure of framing the issue so as to put faith on a level field with reason which relies on evidence and facts. As an atheist I am more than willing to change my mind if facts show I am wrong.
