Zagzebski argues that Pascal's wager is not promoting a low view of God and religious faith, as some critics claim. Instead, she argues that someone who accepts Pascal's wager is expected to act in ways that cause them to develop genuine faith. By engaging in religious practices and seeking to understand God, the individual is more likely to come to a deeper and more meaningful understanding and relationship with God. Thus, Pascal's wager is not promoting a shallow or superficial expression of religious belief, but rather a path towards deeper faith.
