The Christian philosopher and [[Chistian apologetics|Christian apologist]] [[Alvin Plantinga]] wrote concerning atheology:
{{Cquote|[S]ome theologians and theistic philosophers have tried to give successful arguments or proofs for the existence of God. This enterprise is called [[natural theology]]… Other philosophers, of course, have presented arguments for the falsehood of theistic beliefs; these philosophers conclude that belief in God is demonstrably irrational or unreasonable. We might call this enterprise natural atheology.<ref>[https://strangenotions.com/does-atheology-exist/ Does “Atheology” Exist?] by Dr. Edward Feser</ref>}}
In 1990, the atheist philosopher [[Michael Martin]] indicated there was a general [[Atheism and apathy|absence of an atheistic response]] to contemporary work in the [[philosophy]] of religion and in jest he indicated that it was his "cross to bear" to respond to [[theism|theistic]] arguments (See: [[Atheist apologetics]]).<ref>''Open Questions: Diverse Thinkers Discuss God, Religion, and Faith'' by Luís F. Rodrigues, page 201</ref> Yet, in 1994, Michael Martin was criticized for his eleventh hour cancellation of his debate with [[Greg Bahnsen]] (see: [[Greg Bahnsen and debate]] and [[Press release after Michael Martin pulled out of Martin-Bahnsen debate|Bahnson-Martin debate press release]]).
