Abstract

I examine John Pollock's 2005 account of epistemic direct realism and argue that his account implies that at least some religious beliefs are both perceptual and justified. Whether this is a virtue or a vice of Pollock's direct realism depends on one's religious epistemology. I close by dismissing a number of objections to the expansion of direct realism to religious belief.
