72:3.4 These people regard the [[home]] as the basic [[institution]] of their [[civilization]].

[[Purely]] [[religious]] instruction is given [[publicly]] only in the [[temples]] of [[philosophy]], no such exclusively religious [[institutions]] as the [[Urantia]] churches having developed among this people. In their [[philosophy]], [[religion]] is the striving to know [[God]] and to [[manifest]] [[love]] for one's fellows through [[service]] for them, but this is not typical of the [[religious]] [[status]] of the other nations on this [[planet]]. [[Religion]] is so entirely a [[family]] matter among these people that there are no [[public]] places devoted exclusively to religious assembly. [[Politically]], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_of_church_and_state church and state], as Urantians are wont to say, are entirely separate, but there is a strange overlapping of [[religion]] and [[philosophy]].

72:3.6 Until twenty years ago the [[spiritual]] [[teachers]] (comparable to [[Urantia]] [[Priests|pastors]]), who visit each [[family]] periodically to [[examine]] the [[children]] to ascertain if they have been properly instructed by their [[parents]], were under governmental supervision. These spiritual advisers and examiners are now under the direction of the newly created ''Foundation of Spiritual Progress'', an [[institution]] supported by [[voluntary]] contributions. Possibly this [[institution]] may not further evolve until after the arrival of a [[Paradise]] [[Magisterial Son]].
