Philosophy of Religion

In this course, we will explore four related and hotly debated topics in the philosophy of religion, and, in doing so, address the following questions:

(i)Is it rational to hold religious beliefs?  Should we care about rationality when it comes to religious belief?

(ii)Could different religions be different paths to the same ultimate reality, or is only one, at most, a “way to God”?

(iii)What is the relationship between science and religion?

(iv)What is the relationship between morality and religion?  Must religious beliefs be true in order for morality to exist?
