That sounds an awful lot like what many religious people often do.
In fact, people who make religious claims that are unproven or which (for all we know) cannot be proved, often hold other, differently-minded people to a much stricter burden of proof than they are willing to place upon themselves.
Not at all true.
Religion and science are not the same thing, they're not doing the same thing. Scientific claims require empirical evidence because that's what science is, it's essentially just a term for "things that can be verified empirically".
But there are other things that cannot be verified empirically, and so are not science. Religion, properly understood, is one of these things. Religion, rather than examining the physical/material world, explores the world of Being, our subjective experience of existence.
Trying to disprove religion with science is just as misguided as trying to disprove science with religion.
