You know I have actually not read that in Christian apologetics. I believe its there but in the context of this article it came out of discussion with Gleb.

That? I don't know what you're referring to.

I'll assume the quote I included.

It's part of popular christian apologetics here in the US.

For example, if you watch the Hitchens vs. Theist debates for Hitchens' book tour of 'God is not Great', one of the standard theistic moves was "you start from faith in your unjustified foundations, and we start from ours". Douglas Wilson was a good example of that.
