Now, can religion stand these tests? If there be any religious

theories which can stand these two tests, they will be acceptable to

the modern mind, to the thinking mind. Any other theory which we ask

the modern man to believe, on the authority of priests, or churches,

or books, he is unable to accept, and the result is a hideous mass of

unbelief. Even in those in whom there is an external display of

belief, in their hearts there is a tremendous amount of unbelief. The

rest shrink away from religion, as it were, give it up, regarding it

as priestcraft only.
