Point taken.

Atheism doesn't have that. It's just a bunch of people who are devoid of belief in a deity (and the deity itself is being asserted, WITHOUT evidence, by theists aka the burden of proof is on them).

But, you have admit that "burden of proof" is a cop-out used by atheists.Should that be an issue? Is someone on trial? Was a crime committed? Don't like it, leave it. That should be enough.
The atheist allegation that God does NOT exist is just as unproven scientifically as the one that God does exist. Remember, it only takes one thing to disprove something. IMO, only the agnostic/skeptic can claim real bragging rights here as he/she leaves all options open.
