Without providing explicit attributes that a deity holds then there is nothing to reject. From my understanding of the term 'Theism', the major attributes that all Theistic deities must adhere to are:
Creator of the Universe
Can and has interacted with the Universe
Now, based on this definition I make the statement that there is no evidence to suggest that there exists a deity with those two attributes. The ability and will to interact with the universe, makes the statement of existence an inherently synthetic proposition and must therefore be proven empirically.

Its a logical fallacy. The burden of proof stands on the person making a positive statement of existence. I can claim anything exists, but you are free to disbelieve me automatically until I provide some evidence to support my claim.
Once again I disagree, we are dealing with one side which claims to have evidence and the other side which claims that the proposed evidence is not in fact, evidence. Not that it is insufficient.
