Religious fictionalism is a philosophical theory that aims to provide an alternative to the metaphysically realistic (theistic or God-centred) view of the nature of religious discourse. Religious fictionalism argues that being an atheist is compatible with a certain kind of personal religiousness because it is possible to understand traditional religious discourse as a useful fiction. In the first part of my presentation, I will outline the central ideas of religious fictionalism. After that, I highlight some key problems associated with it. These have to do with the “make-believe” attitude of the fictionalist account of faith and the problems linked with personal integrity. In the last part of the article, I will turn to metaphysical and epistemic presuppositions that play a central role in religious fictionalism. I will deal with these issues in the light of Bas van Fraassen’s empiricist views on science, secularism and religion.
宗教虚构主义是一种哲学理论，旨在提供一种替代形而上学的现实主义(有神论或以上帝为中心)对宗教话语本质的看法。宗教虚构主义认为，作为一个无神论者与某种个人宗教性是相容的，因为可以把传统的宗教话语理解为一种有用的虚构。在我演讲的第一部分，我将概述宗教虚构主义的中心思想。之后，我强调了与之相关的一些关键问题。这些都与虚构主义者对信仰的“假装”态度以及与个人诚信有关的问题有关。在文章的最后一部分，我将转向形而上学和认识论的前提，这些前提在宗教虚构主义中起着核心作用。我将根据Bas van Fraassen关于科学、世俗主义和宗教的经验主义观点来处理这些问题。
