Summary
A listener from Canada asks Dr. Craig to sort out three often-conflated terms: nonbelief, disbelief, and belief regarding God's existence. Dr. Craig explains the three doxastic attitudes one can hold toward any proposition, and argues that "disbelief" isn't mere absence of belief but a positive truth claim requiring justification—meaning atheists who disbelieve in God can't escape the burden of proof by hiding behind "I just lack a belief."
