This study analyzes pragmatic arguments for the existence of God in two distinct models of faith: first, the doxastic approach (as seen in the accounts of Pascal and James), and second, the non-doxastic approach (as developed by Golding). When the evidence for a religious proposition is insufficient, both approaches consider faith as a rational venture. Doxastic venture accounts claim that faith entails belief formed through the will. However, since this approach relies on direct doxastic voluntarism, it faces significant psychological and epistemological challenges. In contrast, Golding’s pragmatic model of faith, grounded in the non-doxastic approach, attempts to show that faith can be realized without belief, through an action-guiding assumption. On this model, faith can coexist with deep doubt, avoiding the challenges faced by the doxastic account. This paper argues that while Golding’s account is not without its difficulties, his non-doxastic model offers a promising alternative in contexts of epistemic uncertainty.
