"There is a god" is a claim.
"There is no god" is it's contrapositive.
Yet there is a POV that maintains that the positive claim that there is a god is so unsupported as to be nonsensical. It doesn't make a positive claim that there are no gods, it says that no evidence has been presented to prove the claim that gods exist. This is my atheistic stance. I cannot claim something doesn't exist when that something hasn't even been shown to be anything more than the work of human imagination.

Claims don't default to false in the absence of evidence. They start out as unknown.
In most cases only for those who are afraid to rely on logic and common sense.
