Excerpt from The Religious Sentiments of the Human Mind
When, for instance, we speak Of the christian religion we have in mind a social organisation, comprising a community of organised bodies united by certain enunciated principles and by certain declared aims. But this society is not the christian religion, but rather a development of it. The religion makes the society. If there were no religion there would be no church. Hence we cannot say that the christian church is the christian religion.

Excerpt from The Religious Sentiments of the Human Mind
A person of ordinary intelligence would probably resent the imputation that he does not know the meaning of the term Religion; but, should he seriously ask himself the question placed at the head this chapter, he would be surprised to find how much difficulty an act and adequate answer involves. He will first think of the various systems and organisations really or nominally of a religious character, and perhaps content himself with an enumeration or an ample. If more closely pressed he may find himself greatly at a loss, and indeed may be forced to take refuge in that well-known characterisation of the Holy Ghost by an English prelate as 'a sort a something.' For, while there will be no lack of declarations, heterogeneous and contradictory as they may be, as to what a religious man or woman should believe or do, he will find much less instruction as to what religion essentially is, and what he does find will not be of a satisfactory character, since it almost invariably is en in the interest of some system or some organised body. Moreover, in the efforts which his own intelligence may make, a person will be much perplexed from a proneness of his own mind to confuse products of religion, its incidents and accidents, with its ultimate languishing characteristics.
When, for instance, we speak of the christian religion we have in mind a social organisation, comprising a community of organised lies united by certain enunciated principles and by certain declared aims. But this society is not the christian religion, but rather a development of it. The religion makes the society. If there were religion there would be no church. Hence we cannot say that christian church is the christian religion.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book immerses readers in the realm of religious sentiments, exploring how they arise, fluctuate, and influence our perspective on the world and our place within it. The author posits that our minds naturally posit a supernatural realm beyond the limits of our understanding, from which our religious beliefs and feelings originate. Through meticulous analysis of human consciousness and experience, the book illuminates the interconnectedness of the mind's intellectual, emotional, and volitional aspects in shaping our religious sentiments. The author examines the historical and sociological contexts of religious phenomena, tracing their impact on the development of social institutions and ethical frameworks. Ultimately, this book provides a comprehensive and thought-provoking examination of the nature and significance of religion in human existence, offering profound insights into the ways in which our minds grapple with the limitations of knowledge and the allure of the unknown.
