99:5.1 While [[religion]] is exclusively a [[personal]] [[spiritual]] [[experience]]—knowing [[God]] as a [[Father]]—the corollary of this [[experience]]—knowing man as a [[brother]]—entails the [[adjustment]] of the [[self]] to [[other]] selves, and that involves the [[social]] or [[group]] aspect of religious life. [[Religion]] is first an [[Inner Life|inner]] or [[personal]] [[adjustment]], and then it becomes a matter of [[social]] [[service]] or [[group]] adjustment. The [[fact]] of man's gregariousness perforce determines that religious [[groups]] will come into [[existence]]. What happens to these religious [[groups]] depends very much on [[intelligent]] [[leadership]]. In [[primitive]] [[society]] the religious group is not always very [[different]] from [[economic]] or [[political]] groups. [[Religion]] has always been a [[conservator]] of [[morals]] and a [[stabilizer]] of [[society]]. And this is still true, notwithstanding the contrary teaching of many [[modern]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism socialists] and [[humanists]].

99:5.2 Always keep in [[mind]]: True [[religion]] is to know [[God]] as your [[Father]] and man as your [[brother]]. [[Religion]] is not a [[slavish]] [[belief]] in threats of punishment or [[magical]] [[promises]] of [[future]] [[mystical]] rewards.
