Atheism is the default position. Isn't the burden of proof on the Christian to assert that God exists?

Often in debates about religion there seems to be an endless amount of arguments based on the presupposition of there actually being a god in the first place. (bible quotes cited as truths, anecdotes taken as evidence and such)

I would think a logical approach would be to check every argument against both the presupposition that there is, and that there is not, a god, and then see if there is sufficient evidence to conclude on one or the other. An aggregation of logical reasoning would at least then shed some light on the question.

So how does the presupposition of there being a god stack up aginst there not being a god?

I'm a little unclear about what you are asking. Maybe you could rephrase? Or reword so that the question is more about Christianity in particular? For more tips check the FAQ. – Owen Feb 21 at 3:37
I think he's asking, simply, has anyone compared extra-Biblical evidence for and against the existence of God because he views Biblical evidence as biased. So he's asking for a comparison based on so-called "objective" data. – David Stratton Feb 21 at 3:40

Welcome to Christianity.SE! This question has more of a atheism vs. religion bent, and as such is off-topic for Christianity.SE. Furthermore, questions on C.SE are generally expected to relate to some doctrine in one Christian denomination or another. Please see the FAQ. In addition, reading What makes a good focused question? should be beneficial to you. – El'endia Starman♦ Feb 21 at 3:57

I actually find this question quite interesting, but it doesn't fit well with the scope of this site. I do think it might fit on the Philosophy site. Would you be interested in a little editing that could make it work there? – Caleb♦ Feb 21 at 5:16
