Let's try this another way.
Theism is the belief in the existence of a god or gods.
I do not possess that belief.
Does the fact that I state I do not possess a belief in the existence of a god or gods entail a burden of proof?
If you wish to answer 'yes' - please also detail exactly what form of proof you would imagine this entails.
As far as I am concerned, the only way I could come to have a burden of proof regarding this position is if I were to make a negative claim: e.g.
A god or gods do not exist.
That would require me to defend that statement.
