Anselm assumes that this definition will be acceptable to everyone, including atheists, because even they have an idea of God in their mind. Anselm quotes the “Fool” in the Psalms who said in his heart, “There is no God”
The fool denies God’s existence in reality but he does not and cannot deny God’s existence in his mind or understanding. If he denies something he must have an idea of what he is denying. For example, I have an idea of a unicorn even though I deny
