That's an odd way of putting it. Either we have evidence for gods or we 
don't. As gods are held to be supernatural creatures, you need evidence 
for the existence of things (any things) that are 'supernatural' as a 
pre-requisite. We have none. So the Null Hypothesis stands.

Nobody has to prove that gods don't exist, which is a thing that many 
religious apologists find annoying.
