Publisher's Synopsis
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.
