Taylor thinks that many people believe in God on the basis of abstract philosophical arguments.
He thinks it would be very unusual to find anyone who believes in God on the basis of abstract philosophical reasoning. Religious beliefs are very widespread, while abstract reasoning is very uncommon. So the source of religion is something other than abstract reasoning.
Still, Taylor thinks there may be good philosophical arguments for believing in God. So belief in God may be, not just a matter of faith, but also a matter of reason.
