Who has the Burden of Proof? Atheism vs. Theism

This is an outstanding, brief discussion of something every atheist (and every religious person) should understand. Atheism (no belief in God) is the default position. This means that the burden of proof lies with the Christian who claims that God exists. This claim requires some measure of proof. The second that the Christian insists that the atheist must prove his/her lack of belief, the Christian makes an error in logic.
