Jump to navigation Jump to search

Religious philosophy is philosophical thinking that is inspired and directed by a particular religion. It can be done objectively, but may also be done as a persuasion tool by believers in that faith. It is particularly interested in the nature and existence of God, or gods, or the divine.

It is sometimes distinguished from philosophy of religion, a branch of philosophy that is concerned with the philosophical study of religion. Philosophy of religion is the thinking about religion which critically examines the religions of the world, their justifications, meanings, social purposes, and claims, which can be carried out dispassionately by a believer and non-believer alike.

Concepts specifically concerning the existence and nature of God are listed under Category:Theology.
