I guess it depends on how broadly you define “theologian”. My definition would begin with those who study a religion suspending judgement on the question of whether the presupposition of the particular god existing is true.
For instance, whether or not they believe it, I expect X Christian theologian to be able to clearly articulate the doctrine of Original Sin and Substitional Atonement.
I think non-scholarly Christian proponents often come along and cite X theologian as proof of the existence of Adam or the resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth. It is a mistaken idea of what theologians, according to my definition and understanding, do.
There are people who make argument to support the presupposition of God...but I don’t know if they fall into the category of theology.
This seems to be a nonsequitur. If they’re citing theologians to make their argument, then they aren’t presupposing God’s existence at all?
