I never said that atheists are 'required' to disprove God.
I said that because no evidence exists to disprove the existence of God, a lot of believers will have a hard time changing their viewpoint.

Which is exactly the point I was making in my previous post. A believer can always fall back to the tried and true trump card, "I know there's no evidence, but I have faith!" And at that point, any further debate is futile, because no amount of logic and reason can convince someone who is ardently faithful to abandon their view.

A believer should by rights never 'trump' any other 'card' than the 'faith' card.
Faith is the ONLY thing that has EVER existed in regards to a belief in God.
