introduces some presuppositions that with exceeding from which one may
perceive religious teachings. He has also two presuppositions:
epistemological and ontological. The possibility of analyzing and evaluating

religion would be possible only if we try to transcend from these
presuppositions and use our principles of religious knowledge.
