29. Religion / D. Religious Issues / 1. Religious Commitment / b. Religious Meaning

1468	If meaning is use, then religious sentences have meaning because they are used to assert an intention about how to live [Braithwaite, by PG]
	Full Idea: If the meaning of statements is their use (as Wittgenstein claims), then religious people use religious claims to assert an intention to follow a religious life and morality, and this intention gives their sentences meaning.
	From: report of R.B. Braithwaite (Empiricist View of Religion [1955]) by PG - Db (ideas)
