Section 4.2, The Design Argument for God, and Section 4.4, Pragmatic and Subjective Justifications of Religious Belief, philosophy homework help

In other areas of life, we seem to place a high value on
reason and objective evidence. For
example, the scientific theory that has the best arguments and the most
evidence is accepted over one that has little rational support. The politician who has the best arguments for
her economic proposals is favored over the opponent who has no reasons for his
position. Should things be any different
with religious belief? Why or why not? Why would a God give us reason if, as
Kierkegaard claims, it plays little to no role in forming our religious
beliefs? Your assignment is to write an
original response, at least 300 words, to these questions.

*Please note that I am a Christian with strong religious beliefs.
