Hmm …

 Does divine hiddenness belong to theists or atheists | OUPblog. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

… modern science helps us see the vast spans, prior to the advent of western religions and dozens of times longer than their histories, in which humans were quite innocent of belief in the God of those religions.
What is this supposed to mean? That humans didn't believe in God before Western religions came along?  Surely, the professor has read Rudolf Otto. I think it is fair to say that the Presence that is the focus of mystics, irrespective of whatever creed they may subscribe to, is a reality.
