ABSTRACT
The people who are worried and discouraged about goodness in this world, one finds when one studies them a little, are almost always worried in a kind of general way. Their religion seems to be a kind of good-hearted, pained vagueness. The religion of the people who never worry at all, the thoughtless optimists, is quite the same too, except that they have a kind of happy, rosy-lighted vagueness instead. Religion two-men size, or man and woman size, or one family or two family size, or village size, has been worked out. Religion, as long as it has been concerned with a few people, and was a matter of intuition and love between neighbours, or of skill in being neighbourly, has had no special or imperative need for science or the scientific man.
