If we are looking at this from a logical stand point, you don't have to. The burden is on us who claim the positive ie there is a God.

No, that's true. The burden of proof lies on the asserter. But I think it's still better, if at least more respectable, to take a neutral position than a negative one. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
