The [[morality]] of the religions of [[evolution]] drives men forward in the God quest by the motive power of fear. The religions of [[revelation]] allure men to seek for a God of love because they crave to become like him. But religion is not merely a passive feeling of "absolute dependence" and "surety of survival"; it is a living and dynamic experience of [[divinity]] attainment predicated on '''humanity''' service.
