Excerpt from Studies in Biography, Vol. 2: Topics of the Time A Truly comprehensive religion should teach not only a spirit of heart to cultivate, but a set of principles to act on in the world, and as life is concerned with actions quite as much as it is with feelings, public life is just as much the sphere of rational religion as our personal life. So, the churches, if they only knew it, have quite as much to do with the social duty of statesmen and the political habits of the people, as they have with purity of heart and spiritual earnestness. There will be no complete religion until religious men have just as keen an interest in the progress of the commonwealth as they now profess in the welfare of the soul. And there will be no high and stable policy until politics, together with morals and science, are recognized to be the sphere of the only religious earnestness that is worth having - true unselfishness of heart.
