The paper offers a reinterpretation of Wittgenstein's 1938 lecture on religious belief and challenges a prominent view that it commits Wittgenstein to a form of non-cognitivism and/or that it reflects a lack of understanding of religious practices. It further argues that the lecture is not in tension with Wittgenstein's later views on the nature of philosophy
