No, it isn't.

Both points of view are ridiculous. This is
faith we're talking about--including the faith in the non-existence of God. There's no "burden of proof" where faith is involved. "Proof" and "faith" inhabit entirely different realms.
It's a symptom of the phenomenon called "belief" that things the believer observes tend to be construed as evidence supporting the belief. This makes us think absurd things like the notion that there are ways to prove or disprove elements of faith.
