Philosophy of Religion (English)

The philosophy of religion is one of the most fascinating areas of philosophy. It addresses not only the perennial question Is there a God?, but also the questions If there is, then what is he like? and, most important of all, What does that mean for us? These are questions that everyone should ask themselves at some point. This site attempts to demystify the philosophy of religion, and so to help people to reach views on these questions.

"I know no safe depositary of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power."

Thomas Jefferson to William C. Jarvis, 1820
