In other words, in committing myself to achieving the highest good in the world, I thereby commit myself to its possibility.3 But the being capable of making rain respect virtue is God. So, “it is morally necessary to assume the existence of God” (Kant 1788: 105; 5: 125, emphasis in the original).

As Kant puts it in Religion within the Boundaries of Mere Reason,

Morality thus inevitably leads to religion, and through religion it extends itself to the idea of a mighty moral lawgiver outside the human being, in whose will the ultimate end (of the creation of the world) is what can and at the same ought to be the ultimate human end.

(Kant 1793: 35–36; 6: 6)
