A discussion on the overlap between Philosophy and Religion: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/the-idealist-view-of-reality
There are competing philosophical views of reality. Main contenders are: common sense, reductive materialism, radical empiricism, and idealism. The lecture will review these, and defend an idealist view - that matter is a projection of mind, and that mental, conscious being is the fundamental form of reality. This is one philosophical basis for belief in God.
The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/the-idealist-view-of-reality
