[Page 1] Religion (Definition) "Religion is not purely a matter of understanding and believing certain theological and metaphysical doctrines or creeds. It is not a certain mystical experience which only emotional natures can ever really have in any full sense- a misconception which has caused much secret wonder-ment to certain magnificent souls, same of whom have even tried to be sentimental in the hope of getting what so many regard as the only valid sign of a religious life. Religion is a right attitude. [Page 2] It is a right attitude toward God, toward one's neighbor, and toward life." Weatherhead, Why [Crossed out: MS:illegible] Men Suffer, p[age] 146
