Secular Studies
Abstract The paper examines the legal definition of “religious denomination” and “religion”, seeking to understand whether a non-theist association can be considered a religious denomination and receive the same legal treatment as it, in the light of the legal path taken by both the European legal system and the national contexts analysed.

Theism, Non-theism, and Morality
1976Theists and non-theists alike would regard acts of inflicting harm, injury, pain, etc., upon one’s fellows as being morally unjustified except under special circumstances. But their attitudes to the mere fact of human suffering would vary profoundly. For the non-theist, what brings about human suffering — e.g.

Philosophy, 1948
Theism is a modern word, meaning belief in God. But there is no unanimity about the attributes of God. The Greek theos meant a superhuman and in particular an immortal Being. For the Platonists he was a “Soul,” and there may be more than one soul. The Christian Fathers—Augustine as well as the Greeks, could say without reproach that God became man in ...

Classical Theism and Pantheism: a Victory for Process Theism?
Religious Studies, 1977In Anselm's Discovery, Professor Hartshorne makes the rather startling and (I think) counterintuitive claim that ‘…there is indeed no issue between theism and pantheism. We all exist in the divine being, as St Paul said.’1 Classical or orthodox theists, it seems eminently fair to say, can be expected to recoil from any such suggestion with more than a ...

Anti-Theism, Pro-Theism, and Gratuitous Evil
Philosophia Christi, 2019Ebrahim Azadegan recently argues that personal anti-theism, the view that it’s rational for a particular individual to prefer that God not exist, is a form of gratuitous evil. He justifies this evil by arguing that the anti-theist is uniquely positioned to bargain, implore, and plea to God. I argue that Azadegan faces a paradox.

Theism, Pro-Theism, Hasker, and Gratuitous Evil
2019<p>Consider this claim:</p> <p>(1) If God exists, no gratuitous evil occurs.</p> <p>This claim enjoys widespread assent in contemporary analytic philosophy of religion. It could be harnessed into an argument for <em>pro-theism</em>: it certainly looks like a reason for thinking that God’s existence would make ...

Essays in the Philosophy of Humanism, 2017
Many modern theological debates are built around a false dichotomy between 1) an atheism which asserts that the universe was created by purposeless mechanical processes and 2) acceptance of a religious system which requires both faith in the infallibility of sacred texts and belief in a supernatural God.

Abstract Dear Zachary, I know it has been a long time since you’ve heard from me much too long! But I think of you often and often wish I could talk with you.
