Sensus divinitatis
« on: July 15, 2015, 03:23:56 PM »
Sensus divinitatis ("sense of divinity"), also referred to as sensus deitatis ("sense of deity") or semen religionis ("seed of religion"), is a term first used by French Protestant reformer John Calvin to describe a hypothetical human sense. Instead of knowledge of the environment (as with, for example, smell or sight), the sensus divinitatis is alleged to give humans a knowledge of God.

In Calvin's view, there is no reasonable non-belief. Neo-Calvinists who adhere to the presuppositionalist school of Christian apologetics sometimes appeal to a sensus divinitatis to argue that there are no genuine atheists. --Wiki

yes, there are no genuine atheists.  yes, atheists do not believe in god, but to parse words---that unbelief by itself is already an admission that there is a god; it's just that atheists don't believe in him.
