5:5.2 Religion is not grounded in the [[facts]] of [[science]], the obligations of [[society]], the [[assumptions]] of [[philosophy]], or the implied [[Duty|duties]] of morality. Religion is an independent realm of human [[response]] to life situations and is unfailingly exhibited at all stages of human development which are postmoral. Religion may permeate all four levels of the [[realization]] of [[values]] and the enjoyment of universe [[Friendship|fellowship]]: the [[physical]] or [[material]] level of self-preservation; the social or [[emotional]] level of fellowship; the moral or [[duty]] level of [[reason]]; the spiritual level of the [[consciousness]] of universe [[Friendship|fellowship]] through [[divine]] [[worship]].

5:5.4 Moral [[Behavior|conduct]] is always an antecedent of evolved religion and a part of even revealed religion, but never the whole of [[religious]] [[experience]]. Social [[service]] is the result of moral [[thinking]] and religious living. Morality does not [[biologically]] lead to the higher spiritual levels of religious experience. The [[adoration]] of the [[abstract]] [[beautiful]] is not the [[worship]] of God; neither is exaltation of [[nature]] nor the reverence of [[unity]] the worship of God.
