Evidentialism is an epistemological thesis that states that a person is justified in believing something if the person has relevant[1] evidence for that belief. In addition, it holds that evidence is required for knowledge.[2] Evidentialism is also a theory in the philosophy of religion.[3] In this context, evidentialism is the thought that there is evidence for the claims made by religion. These evidentialists do hold, although, that faith is still central to at least some religions.[4]
