1. It has been said that America is one of the most religious countries in the world. Indeed, Gallup poll indicates that a little over 8 Americans in ten believe in God. As usual, Philosophy urges you to question the assumption underlying such a belief. Hence the following question: �Does God exist?� In the light of the readings listed under chapter 12, make a case for or against God�s existence. As much as possible, confine yourself to those readings (to the most relevant ones, in your opinion).
