It is widely assumed in contemporary philosophy of religion that if a philosopher wishes to give an analytic account of religious belief, one which seeks to clarify the grammar of that belief, he must choose between realism and non-realism. These, it is thought, are the only philosophical alternatives open to him. According to Terence Penelhum, ‘Most atheists and agnostics are theological realists, and obviously most defenders and apologists for faith are also.’1 Most, but not all, for, it is said, on the margins of the dispute between belief and unbelief are those philosophers and theologians who give non-realist accounts of these alternatives. According to realists, the non-realist analyses fail to capture the essence of belief and atheism.
