The expectations and presuppositions which inform the philosophy of religion are deeply coloured by the entire history of recent Western thought. Since many of those who write and publish in the area of philosophy of religion have been trained in analytic philosophy, the standards of analytic philosophy, which are influenced to a great degree by positivism, pragmatism, and the thinking of natural scientists, play an important but subtle role in this field.
*Dini ni mjengeko uliopangwa kwa nidhamu maalumu katika kipindi chote cha tarehe, kuanzia wakati alipoumbwa mwanaadamu hadi zama hizi tunazokwenda nazo, dini imetumwa kwa watu kwa ajili ya kuwapa uwezo wa kufahamu mambo mbali mbali yanayohusiana na maisha yao, na mambo mengine yote, dini ambazo zimekuja kwa mujibu wa fikra au mifumo ya wanaadamu hizo sio dini za Mwenyeezi Mungu na dini hizo zitakuwa ni nakisi na zenye upungufu, kwa hiyo dini hizo sio sahihi.
