Secularism is a condition of the times we live in today. It gives awareness to the global community that in reality there is only the immanent—there is no God. So, theism is seen as just one of the many options available: atheism becomes even more attractive to embrace. Generally, a theist will respond by demonstrating the plausibility of theism through positive arguments for the existence of God. The author rejects this and offers an approach from Reformed epistemology, as a thesis on how one knows God, to the problem. Through Reformed epistemology, the author views secularism as what is understood as a cognitive environment. As a cognitive environment that prevents the “knowing subject†from knowing God, the authors point out that the appropriate response to secularism is to include the “knowing subject†into the liturgy. Thus, liturgy can also be understood as an act that has an epistemic dimension that enables a person to know God.
