‘No-fault unbelief’ can be named the view that there are those who do not believe in God through no moral or intellectual fault of their own. This view opposes a more traditional one, which can be named ‘flawed unbelief’ view, according to which religious unbelief signals a cognitive or moral flaw in the non-believer. Since this charge of mental or moral flaw causes a certain uneasiness, I oppose the former view, i.e. ‘no-fault unbelief’, with a strategy that has nothing to do with the latter. I assume that ‘no-fault unbelief’ is correct and show what consequences follow for both unbelievers and believers. I conclude that the assumption in question is superficially beneficial but deeply detrimental to unbelievers, and by contrast, it is superficially detrimental and deeply beneficial to believers.

无错不信

“无过错的不信”可以被命名为这样一种观点，即有些人不相信上帝，并不是因为他们自己的道德或智力过失。这种观点反对更传统的观点，可以称为“有缺陷的不信”观点，根据该观点，宗教不信标志着非信徒的认知或道德缺陷。由于这种精神或道德缺陷的指控会引起某种不安，因此我反对前一种观点，即“无过错不信”，并采取与后者无关的策略。我假设“无过错的不信”是正确的，并表明对非信徒和信徒都会产生什么后果。我的结论是，所讨论的假设表面上对非信徒有利，但对非信徒有害，相比之下，对信徒而言，它是表面有害的，但对信徒极为有益。
