15 4 | explanation of the relationship of religion to morality, to science
16 4 | main relationship between religion and morality is the relationship
17 4 | inalienable reciprocal action. Religion and morality are tightly
18 4 | tightly bound together. Religion is not possible without
19 4 | is not possible without religion. Faith without deeds is

55 7 | examined the relationship of religion to morality, philosophy,
56 7 | science and art, we see that religion represents something much
57 7 | also in combination, since religion embraces them in complete
58 7 | complete unity. Without religion, all the yearning of man’
59 7 | fruitless play of fantasies if religion did not convince people
60 7 | exists.~Morality without religion would not contribute any
61 7 | This makes it clear that religion not only cannot be replaced
62 7 | on the contrary, without religion, all these inclinations
63 7 | with God (the essence of religion). But where do we get this
64 7 | problem of the origin of religion.~The question of the origin
65 7 | question of the origin of religion can be the object of historical,
66 7 | indicating the universality of religion, and, on the other hand,
67 7 | question of the origin of religion has no practical meaning,
68 7 | for, in an appraisal of religion, it is of no importance
69 7 | whatsoever in what manner religion occurred. It is completely
70 7 | words, the question of how religion originated has no relation
71 7 | example, of the Christian religion), you can contrast against
72 7 | belief that the origin of religion is explained, on the one
73 8 | hypothesis. The same is true with religion.~The opinion is often expressed
74 8 | remarks of Pascal (Thoughts on Religion), that if geometry could

111 13 | world, only the Christian religion possesses all the inner
112 13 | true, divinely revealed religion. This religion is subdivided
113 13 | revealed religion. This religion is subdivided into the Old
114 13 | measure.~ ~The nature of the religion of the Old Testament.~First
115 13 | First of all, Old Testament religion represents in itself pure
116 13 | divinely revealed Old Testament religion from all other natural religions

118 13 | Only in the Old Testament religion was there made apparent

126 13 | world, in the Old Testament religion, is considered as a creation
127 14 | of science and people of religion (mostly Roman Catholic);
