Why does an Atheist need to prove that god doesn't exist, surely it is up to the person believing to prove that he, she or it does..

Belief is NOT proof of something and should not be confused in that manner.
As for religion, most are based on unprovable faith and belief in a supreme being(s).

Not sure how much info you're looking for but "The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins is an interesting read on this very subject.

unbelief is endemic today but as it was written the last days people will be lovers of themselves, guess who said that

Why do you need to Prove anything, if you don't believe, then you don't

reality is faith is a gift, a gift we are all entitled to receive but some reject this

If there is no God life isn't worth it. I just lost my Dad from a massive stroke, while my mother is recovering from a heart attack and open heart surgery. My life has been changed forever. If this is all there is, it isn't worth the trouble. But I believe God does exist and He himself says we should be able to look at creation and know it.

I don't have enough faith to believe that order came out of disorder. A big bang and everything fell into place. Please. Even the sun is in the proper place...not a little closer or a touch further because if it were, we wouldn't be here. No, I don't have enough faith to believe we are just happenstance. I'm blown away by those who believe that.

Millions of people happily live their lives with no knowledge or belief in any god - in fact it's the default position.

It isn't. Take a planetary physics course and you'll know why. In fact there may be other inhabited worlds because the physics line up for it.

If one does not believe that ANYTHING exists, then it doesn't exist as far as that person is concerned. As far as not believing the God does not exist, that is simply a person choice and opinion. With that said, that person DOES NOT HAVE THE RIGHT to disallow anyone who DOES believe to not show their feelings towards God. If the Atheist does not want anything referring to God to be publicly displayed, then where are the rights of those that do believe in being able to display what they believe in?
