Some of them are as follow: 1. Atheistic, western and Christian background of philosophy of religion that has been coused a kind of pessimism into it in Irani’s religious society. 2. No restraint of philosophy of religion towards theological presuppositions of Islamic tradition that has been led critical approaches to teachings of Islamic tradition, meantime, worries of some religious schalors concerning spreading disbelieving in the result of developing philosophy of religion due to the role of its rational debates and taking critical or metareligious approach to religion, has its special importance. 3. Low level of people’s religious knowledge and dominance of imitation aspect of religious beliefs that are led to more vulnerability of their religiosity due to developing philosophical approach to religion. 4. Theological presuppositions of religious schalors that has been prevented welcoming to philosophical approach to religion. 5. Dominance of exclusivistic approach to our religious tradition that has been led to deny the merits of other religious traditions that can be possible based on philosophical study of religion. 6. Historical dominance of jurisprudential approach in Islamic tradition and religiosity that has been caused to negligence of philosophical and rational approach to religion and to reinforcing imitation of it.
