I've always found this line of thinking to be massively inconsistent, since people that espouse this point of view are very selective in the belief systems they apply it to.
These people say that believing in God is as wacky as believing in God, yet they wouldn't take the same position if I told them that the world was created by a monster made out of jelly and cardboard boxes.
If there's insufficient evidence for something, then there is nothing wrong or arrogant about saying that it doesn't exist. Sticking to your belief that it doesn't exist, when new evidence shows otherwise would be arrogant.
