RELIGIOUS IDEAS WILL HAVE TO BECOME UNIVERSAL, VAST, AND INFINITE; AND THEN ALONE WE SHALL HAVE THE FULLEST PLAY OF RELIGION

Even at the present time we find many sects and societies, with almost the same ideas, fighting each other, because one does not want to set forth those ideas in precisely the same way as another. Therefore, religions will have to broaden. Religious ideas will have to become universal, vast, and infinite; and then alone we shall have the fullest play of religion, for the power of religion has only just begun to manifest in the world.
