What 'both sides'?
One says, "gods exist, trust me (and my personal experiences without hard verifiable evidence)."
The other side says, "I don't believe you, prove it."
You're forgetting the response from the theist.
Theist: God exists.
Atheist: I don't believe you.
Theist: How can you not believe me? You have no evidence, therefore my God exists.
Atheist: ...
That's effectively trying to prove a negative, which is nigh impossible.
Also, it's commonplace for a believer te be unable to empathize with a nonbeliever: it's unfathomable to them that non-belief could be possible.
It's akin to a person with loving parents to ever consider that their parents could be unloving, their minds can't comprehend it.
So the believer goes about life thinking everything is a belief, even atheism. Which is an incorrect assessment.
