Once Again on the Proper Understanding of the So-Called Nonresistant Nonbelievers. Reply to Ewa Odoj

Abstract

This article is a defense against criticism of my previous text, in which I indicated that the reasons for unbelief in so called ‘nonresistant nonbelievers’ have their roots in moral errors. In order, I try to respond to: 1) that I perceive religious beliefs in a noncognitive way, which is inconsistent with the traditional Christian approach; 2) that, on the one hand, I proclaim belief voluntarism, and on the other hand, I blame nonbelievers for their decisions; 3) that, by appealing to the natural knowledge of God, I do not satisfactorily explain the reasons for unbelief; 4) that I wrongly exclude nonbelievers living in the modern world from the group of “anonymous Christians”; 5) that I am unclearly including the idea of social sin in the personal guilt that nonbelievers bear for their unbelief.

Keywords:

‘nonresistant nonbelievers’, religious beliefs, cognitive vs non-cognitive sources of unbelief, praeambula fidei, anonymous Christians, social sin, hiddenness argument
