The religious ambiguity of the world has many aspects, one of which
is the hiddenness of God. Theists have proposed a number of
explanations of God's hiddenness. Some putative explanations
contend that the advantages of God's hiddenness ("goods of
mystery") outweigh whatever benefits would result if God's
existence and nature were clear to us ("goods of clarity"). Goods
of mystery that have received a lot of discussion include human
moral autonomy and the ability on our part to exercise control over
whether we believe in the existence of God. The extent of the
ambiguity that surrounds God's existence, and indeed all important
religious matters, combined with our lack of an obviously correct
and adequate explanation of this lack, suggest that, even if God
exists, it is not important that people believe in God. Another
central theme in the book is the significance of religious
diversity for religious belief. The character of this diversity is
such that it provides people who take a position on religious
matters with reason to adopt the "Critical Stance" - which requires
people in all the religious traditions to subject their religious
beliefs to critical scrutiny and hold those beliefs in a tentative
way.Some contend that religious faith requires complete confidence
in what is believed but tentative belief actually is sufficient to
sustain many forms of religious commitment.
