William James (1842-1910), one of the representatives of classic American pragmatism, received a paper on the Faith's Prophecy to be presented in the Spring of 1896 in the Brown and Yale universities' philosophy classes. The article contains arguments that are not sufficiently important to be considered as a simple class note. Specifically in the literature of religious philosophy the rationality of religious beliefs in discussions is accompanied by the article of the Religious Ethics, published in 1877 by William Kingdon Clifford (1837-1879) . Is it necessary that religious beliefs have sufficient evidence support to meet the rationality measurement? Can it be considered to be a rational attitude that a person has these beliefs without sufficient evidence support? The Faith Ethics answered the first question positively and took their places in the literature of the religious philosophy as the head texts of the pragmatic and fideistic approach (Jordan, 2010:425-433) by answering the agnostic and rigorous proof approach, while the Faith Ethics answered the second positively.
