101:0.1 [[Religion]], as a [[human]] [[experience]], ranges from the [[primitive]] [[fear]] [[slavery]] of the evolving [[savage]] up to the [[sublime]] and magnificent [[faith]] [[liberty]] of those civilized [[mortals]] who are superbly [[conscious]] of sonship with the [[eternal]] [[God]].
101:0.2 [[Religion]] is the [[ancestor]] of the advanced [[ethics]] and [[morals]] of [[progressive]] [[social]] [[evolution]]. But [[religion]], as such, is not merely a [[moral]] [[movement]], albeit the outward and [[social]] [[manifestations]] of religion are mightily [[influenced]] by the [[ethical]] and [[moral]] [[momentum]] of [[human]] [[society]]. Always is [[religion]] the [[inspiration]] of man's evolving [[nature]], but it is not the [[secret]] of that [[evolution]].
101:0.3 [[Religion]], the [[conviction]]-[[faith]] of the [[personality]], can always triumph over the [[superficially]] contradictory [[logic]] of [[despair]] born in the unbelieving [[material]] [[mind]]. There really is a true and genuine [[Thought Adjuster|inner voice]], that "true light which lights every man who comes into the world."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_john#Chapter_1] And this [[spirit]] [[leading]] is distinct from the [[ethical]] prompting of [[human]] [[conscience]]. The [[feeling]] of religious [[assurance]] is more than an [[emotional]] feeling. The [[assurance]] of [[religion]] [[transcends]] the [[reason]] of the [[mind]], even the [[logic]] of [[philosophy]]. [[Religion]] is [[faith]], [[trust]], and [[assurance]].
