Criticisms of Wittgenstein by A.J. Ayer?

•If people in different faiths are playing their own language game, how is it possible for discussion between the different faith traditions about gods existence? • Religious believers are involved in other language games because they are involved in other aspects of life. This means that religious language is not totally isolated and that there will be common ground between religious language and other 'language games'.

This is because non-believers have an objective view of the use of religious language.
