True [[religion]] is a meaningful way of living dynamically face to face with the commonplace realities of everyday life. But if religion is to stimulate [[individual]] development of character and augment integration of [[personality]], it must not be standardized. If it is to stimulate evaluation of experience and serve as a [[value]]-lure, it must not be stereotyped. If religion is to promote supreme loyalties, it must not be formalized.[http://mercy.urantia.org/cgi-bin/webglimpse/mfs/usr/local/www/data/papers?link=http://mercy.urantia.org/papers/paper99.html&file=/usr/local/www/data/papers/paper99.html&line=84#mfs]
