Variety of beliefs Monotheistic O personal God | God is good Buddhists: Four Noble Truths enlightenment Brahman

Realism & Non-Realism Religious Realist- Religious Non-Realist Their religious beliefs are about what actually exists, independent of the persons holding those beliefs Religious claims are not about something "out there" Assertions about Allah or Brahman, are true because there are actual referents for the words "Allah" & "Brahman". Religion is a human construct & religious language refers to human behavior and experience Statements about them can provide correct predications of the behavior of Allah and Brahman. Failure of realism to provide evidences for any religion & attempt to demonstrate the existence of God from evidence in the nature are abject failures. If Allah or Brahman do not actually exist, assertions about them would be false. All religious & ethical ideas are human, with a human history Truth- exists ready made We are the makers of truth
