Abstract

It is common knowledge that Wittgenstein cannot be called fundamentally a religious writer. All the same, he did not dismiss the reality 'religion' as nonsense. It is opined here that, Wittgenstein was very consistent in his references to it. We strongly claim that religion was a subject of his philosophical preoccupation positioned among his general striking similes, arresting moments and connections of his general methods. Religion gained occasional and/or scattered referencing in his works (e.g. the notes of 1938, the positioning of religion and/or theology as grammar in the 'Philosophical Investigations (PI: 373; p.283), Zettel and the later work 'Culture and Value). Despite the above, we have to agree, with Wittgenstein, that his poetic compositions are to be understood and seen in consistent connections (PI: 122) even when they look disconnected
