 However, if we deny the existence of nonresistant nonbelievers, we must square our denial with the evidence marshalled on behalf of their existence (Schellenberg 2005c). Furthermore, some forms of resistant non-belief should be deeply concerning for the theist, such as psychological resistance provoked by religious trauma and interpersonal hurts generally (Green 2015; Rea 2018; Panchuk 2018). Whether because of suffering or hiddenness, the mere fact that nonbelief is resistant is not necessarily a boon to the theist.
