DIVINE HIDDENNESS IS COSTLY FOR ATHEISTS (pages 353-357)

Perry HENDRICKS

ABSTRACT: I’ve argued that those who endorse the argument from divine hiddenness must give up all pure de jure objections to theism, and this means that endorsing the argument is costly for atheists. Benjamin Curtis claims that this isn’t a significant cost for atheists. I show that—contrary to Curtis—there is a significant cost, and spell out why this is so. Furthermore, I show that my argument functions as a new argument for affirming reformed epistemology—the view that if theism is true, belief in God is probably rational.
