As belief in god doesn't have any actual evidence to support it, the default position is a god free world, that seems obvious to me.
Unfortunately you don’t convince me because you are a huge grinder of axes in my opinion.

What has been expressed several times is that it just is and we’d better all get over it.

No, it's been explained many times and at great length. Logically, claims about god(s) are identical to any other claim in that it's up to those who propose them to justify them.

What hasn’t been expressed is how the empirical view of the universe became the status quo probably displacing a theistic status quo.

Empirical is evidence one way to support a claim, logic and reasoning are another way, and if you have another suggestion as to how we might distinguish probable truth, from blind faith and guesswork, I'm perfectly happy consider it.

You're also talking as if theism was one view. It isn't and never has been. There are endless different conceptions of god(s) and at least most must be wrong because they contradict each other.

I guess what I’m saying that unless anyone can explain why everyone should accept the empiricist view as the status quo then atheism may have a burden of proof.

I cheerfully accept my burden of proof alas I cannot prove it empirically.

I've asked him the same question countless times, which is when he always runs away.

Wait, maybe that should be flies away?  ;D
