To be fair, as long as it's regarded as the basis for belief and not knowledge, there's not much harm in it. In any case it's basic knowledge that he who makes the positive claim is the one with the burden of proof. However, it also seem to be common practice among believers and so-called 'open-minded' people to disregard that.
