Hmm …

… Wittgenstein on Christianity - by William F. Vallicella. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

I grant that in religion orthopraxy trumps orthodoxy. But correct practice presupposes correct belief. Belief in turns refers us beyond the immanence of practices, rites, rituals, formulas and the like; to believe that such-and-such is to believe that such-and-such is true. The very intentionality or object-directedness of belief ‘resurrects’ the question of the correctness of what is believed, and thus the question of objective truth.

I quite agree.
