Could Deus Otiosus Negate The Burden of Proof For Theists?

For starters, we must define what Deus Otiosus is.

According to Wikipedia (2018), in theology, a Deus Otiosus or "idle god" is a creator god who largely retires from the world and is no longer involved in its daily operation (Wiki, 2018).

As an example of Deus Otiosus in the most conventional sense, we can refer to Olorun from the tradition of Orixá Ifá or Yoruba. 

• In Yoruba, Olorun [ meaning "ruler of Heavens" ] is the one responsible for the universe and all that resides within it.
• Upon creation of the universe, it is believed that Olorun [ like Boneye of Vodun and Ein Sof of Kabbalah ] withdrew from the universe -- having no further involvement nor existential presence within the universe.
• Thus, Olorun retired from the observable universe along with all traces of its existence.

Today, there are no observable temples or shrines, nor centralized authority within Yoruba and Yoruba-inspired traditions due to the Creator's nonexistence in the universe. No prayers are sent directly to Olorun nor is it worshipped nor do followers seek after the Creator expecting miracles or otherwise.

Olorun is an example of Deus Otiosus or Deus Absconditus because followers do not expect to discover evidence of Olorun within the universe, nor can evidence become possible due to its nonexistence therein.

Questions

1) With regards to the act of withdrawing from the physical universe, can atheists logically request evidence for the existence of god(s)?

2) Can it be (reasonably) argued that theists/deists provide evidence of Deus Otiosus when the concept contends that no measurable evidence should exist within the universe to prove a God was ever there?

3) Would it be correct to suggest that the Burden of Proof is logically neutralized in light of Deus Otiosus?
