The burden of proof lies with the one making the claim. That's you. I make no claim but merely state that I have seen no evidence that any deity exists.
You make multiple claims, among them not only that at least one deity exists but that there is only one. Further that this one deity is the Abrahamic god, that he/she/it is "triune" in nature, etc., etc., etc. The burden of proof for all this is yours.

But YOU are the one who most recently made the claim that there are more important points of comparison between biblical Christianity and other religions. Since you made that claim (with exceedingly lame talking points to boot), then the burden of proof is on you to show that there are no significant
theological differences between biblical Christianity and other religions.
I challenged you with only two areas of total uniqueness, since I'm a gracious guy. I have proved many times that God saves his people BY grace, THROUGH faith,
and not of or by [good] works or by law-keeping and that even that faith is not of themselves, for it, too, is a gift from God. This teaching is unique to the bible.
The second issue I raised is the Trinity (a theological term). God is one, yet in three distinct persons -- Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The bible nowhere teaches that there are three gods. Therefore, the triunity of God is also unique to the canon of scripture known as the bible.
Have a nice, evening, sir.
