Excerpt from Religion, Does It Matter?: Its Meaning, Nature and Value As the belief in God has existed among all the races of mankind from the earliest times down to the present, so the practice of religion has been likewise universal. This is as true today as it was at the dawn of history. Whether the race be comparatively primitive or highly civilized, religion will be found to play an important role. The practice of religion would seem to follow as a direct and immediate consequence of the recognition of the existence of a Supreme Being. Man expresses that acknowledge ment through prayer, sacrifice and ceremonial of varied kinds. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
