 Meillassoux’s critique is not of religion per se, but of what he perceives as an unwillingness on the part of modern philosophy to stress the claim of reason. On his reading, correlationism opens space that doctrines lacking rational support quickly fill. However, to call these doctrines “fideism” would be misleading: as described earlier, the term refers to a philosophical position about reason, as opposed to the beliefs that a proponent of this position might view as not requiring “rational” support. Perhaps his point is simply that strong correlationism might be taken to establish a division of labor congenial to believing without reason, and that insofar as it purports to place limits on reason, it constitutes a form of fideistic philosophy.
