Pascal's wager and language.

Pascal's wager. posits that humans all bet with their lives either that God exists or not. Given the possibility that God actually does exist and assuming an infinite gain or loss associated with belief or unbelief in said God (as represented by an eternity in heaven or hell), a rational person should live as though God exists and seek to believe in God. If God does not actually exist, such a person will have only a finite loss (some pleasures, luxury, etc.).[2]

However surely one needs language to have a belief or not of God's existence.  And belief or not
are concepts framed in langauge.
