   A claim for which there is absolutely no objective physical evidence.   
      
      
    Atheists say that they do not believe   
   any gods exist.    
      
   But as atheism is not a claim about whether any gods actually  exist, it    
   has no need of proof.   
      
   On the other hand, those theists who claim that their notions of gods    
   are actual are each claiming something that requires objective physical    
   evidence to establish it, but for which they have no objective physical    
   evidence.      
      
   To reprise:    
      
   LACK of belief in the existence of something, as in atheism,  is only    
   problematic when there is a plentiful supply of objective physical    
   evidence that that thing actually exists. Which is NOT the case.   
      
   PRESENCE of belief in the existence of something, as in theism,  is only    
   problematic when there is a total lack of objective physical evidence    
   that that thing actually exists. Which IS the case.
