So, the ones making the claim that there is no god must provide the evidence? Since the majority of the worlds population has been religious in some fashion for thousands of years, the claim of no god would be the contradictory claim.

I believe there is a logical fallacy about your position...

A fallacy to my position that DD's position is there is no god? Or that billions of people who believe in god/gods disagree with him?

Exactly. Read my reply to Tuatara for my position on this.

There I just proved Vishnu is the only God and made it impossible to disprove it.
Do you actually use that strategy to win arguments?

You took this out of context.
The evidence for the scientific theories I used all rely on base assumptions for the evidence to support it. People who use science to try to disprove god tend to accept these assumptions without question.
Based on that, if they were to accept the assumption, say for example that there must be a source for everything, then evidence can be presented for the existence of god.
