This article is full of fallacies: ad hominem fallacy, appeal to faith:

Quote: Why the Burden of Proof is on the Atheist

Here is my question after reading the article.... why should a skeptic have the burden of proof when "god/s" hasn't even proven with reasonable doubt that he/they exist/s? Or for that matter that theists have yet to give a reasonable argument that "god/s" exist/s. if this is your life long crusade where is the evidence? personally I don't give a damn if people believe that god/s exist/s let them no skin off my back but in the world of science it is so that if you are trying to prove something the burden of proof is on you no on the skeptic.

yet more fallacies: ad hominem, confirmation bias, appeal to faith, argument from authority

I mean the list goes on and on here shall I continue?
