It has been suggested that this article or section be merged with Basic belief. (Discuss) Proposed since February 2010.

The argument from a proper basis is an ontological argument for the existence of God related to fideism. Alvin Plantinga argued that belief in God is a properly basic belief, and so no basis for belief in God is necessary.^[1]
