My Religion is a book written by the famous Russian author Leo Tolstoy. In this book, Tolstoy discusses his personal beliefs and philosophy of life, which he developed after a long period of spiritual and intellectual searching. The book is divided into three parts, with each part exploring a different aspect of Tolstoy's faith. In the first part, Tolstoy describes his journey towards a more meaningful and authentic faith, which he found by rejecting the formal and institutionalized religion of his upbringing. He argues that true religion is not about following dogmas and rituals, but about living a life of love, compassion, and moral integrity. The second part of the book focuses on Tolstoy's interpretation of the teachings of Jesus Christ. He argues that Jesus was not a divine figure, but a human being who taught a message of radical love and nonviolence. Tolstoy suggests that Jesus' teachings have been distorted and corrupted by the Church, and that it is up to individuals to rediscover the true meaning of his message. Finally, in the third part of the book, Tolstoy discusses the practical implications of his faith. He argues that true religion requires individuals to live a simple and humble life, free from materialism and consumerism. He also advocates for social and political reform, arguing that true religion requires individuals to work towards a more just and equitable society. Overall, My Religion is a powerful and thought-provoking book that offers a unique perspective on spirituality and faith. Tolstoy's ideas continue to resonate with readers today, and the book remains a classic of religious literature.1885.
