The Innate character of Religion: An Epistemological View.

Author

Abstract

Religions may be divided up into two classes: 1. Those whose principles are rational and can be reasonably proved. In such religions the division of intellect from belief, and notions such as sensation, internal experience and the like are of no application.
Islam is one of such religions. The division of intellect from belief, as practiced in christianity, has no place in Islam.
The Term innate in such religions means that the mankind is created in such away that he has tendency to ward the principles of religions. Such principles are niether self_-_evident nor are analogy - based propositions. The reasonable and man can achieve them.
The second class of religions are those which have irrational principles, e.g. Christianity. In them, to justify the irrational principles, intellect and belief are thus divided. Hence, innate is defined merely sensational.
