The global default "position" (if there even was such a thing) is not atheism.
Yes it is - and you know it. For you and anybody else, the default is no leprechauns without evidence of leprechauns, no bigfeet without evidence of bigfeet and no gods without evidence of gods.
Now, I personally think that bigfeet are quite possible and the only reason to think there are no bigfeet is that there is no solid evidence of bigfeet. Leprechauns are much less likely because of the magic angle and gods are even less likely than leprechauns because of the unfounded grandiose claims made about gods. YOUR god, in particular, is less likely than some other gods.

Lets slay that demon once and for all time.
There you go again, making empty assertions. If you're going to "slay a demon" at least TRY to put up an argument.

Many of you wish that were the case...
I don't. I'm perfectly willing to accept a god or gods if they existed.

It's a done deal to date - no leprechauns, no bigfeet, no gods. There is a possibility that evidence will be discovered in our lifetime or after we are gone but the probability seems very low.
