ABSTRACT

God is the focus of all religious thought. Belief in God is the one essential common denominator of all religions. The first and the second of these statements will be agreed as statements of fact by all, whether or no they accept the belief implied in the statements. The Russian revolutionaries have abolished God, liberty, and immortality. But if people may believe the story of a Russian-American, Maurice Hindus, in his book called Red Bread, and accept that as a fair statement of present-day conditions in Russia, then there is a strong, new and simple religious faith growing up in that country that may annul and even destroy the efforts of the Godless campaign. Belief may have three foundations: authority, emotion, reason. Belief in God based upon experience or emotion is good. It appeals strongly to the human heart.
