Excerpt from The Effects of Religion: A Series of Sermons Thus, Religion is universal; and not only for groups, but also for the individual. We all ask sometime if there is divinity, says George Moore, and if we are related to the divine, no matter however remotely. This thought is more intense in us than any other thought, and everybody who has tried to write at all has tried to find utter ance for it. It is a feeling shared not onlyby writers but by every thinking person. People of this kind, however, will not be content with a mere rudimentary relig ion; with one that appears as the mere common, involuntary, natural heritage of mankind. They ought not to be content with such a religion. They will try to make sure that their religion is the kind that is really worth having - one that pos sesses such virtues as shall make it desir able, as shall commend it to the devotion and fealty of its possessors, and make the soul of its devotees truly treasure it. This is what makes the difference between a relig ion inherited mechanically from one's own ancestors, or from the common store of mankind's spiritual experience, and the religion of the intelligent person who is conscious of the worth and purpose of his spiritual life. Intelligent men and women will want to be sure that theirs is a relig ion really worth having, as was that of the Psalmist.
