Abstract

In Wittgenstein’s view, religious beliefs use an image; they are commitments which are unshakably everlasting and have the potentiality to give order to whole life. It is hardly based on evidence. Accordingly, they neither receive any assistance from science or philosophy nor receive any damage from them. Nowadays you may observe priests including Don Cupitt who are not realists. This observations stands in sharp contrast with what is held in religious societies. They even contradict with scientific and religious realities which hold religion as a set of images of reality. As Wittgenstein argues to be the case, religious propositions are pieces of evidence about which objective realities are not taken to be very true. These statements are not supposed to refer to anything, rather they are assumed to play a significant role in human religious life.
