The scripture does say that a person can deny the existence of God in their hearts, which I take to mean a ‘sincere disbelief’ not just the claim of disbelief:
> 14 The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.”
> They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds;
> there is none who does good. (Psalm 14 ESV)
However, in many other places of scripture, it seems to declare that God’s basic nature is declared in a self-evident way.
- Therefore is there such a thing as a real ‘pure atheist’ or is that just an imaginary person?
- Is there anything in scripture that clarifies the tension between self-evident truth and the fool’s ability to deny that evidence?
- To what degree is the denial possible?
- Is there even such a thing as a real atheist?
