Why is the burden of proof on us? Isn’t agnosticism a more honest intellectual approach to the existence of God? Of course, Aristotle points to a First Cause by reason alone.

There may be invisible unicorns. However, this is highly unlikely and we have no evidence that they do. Since we do not know that they do not exist a more honest intellectual approach would be to allow for the possibility. I however will say that I do not believe invisible unicorns exist.
