Well, I don't know any person who would make the statement you quote. 
Rather this quote is at best a straw-man. Further, those who advocate 
for the existence of a god need to prove that such a god exists. 
Non-theists do not have to prove the non-existence of such a god; at 
most they only need to disprove the arguments for the existence of such 
a god.

Years ago I liked to discuss religion with others. However I found 
believers  were only interested in converting others to their belief. So 
I don't waste my time in such exchanges.
