Natural Religion

<p>This book began with a trunk of manuscripts written by my grandfather Earl Clement Davis (1876-1953) who was a Unitarian minister from 1905-1953. Born a year after he died I never knew him. <br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Growing up without any religion I was surprised to discover in these century-old writings a compelling approach to religion one that resonates with the struggles we face today.<br /></p><p><br /></p><p>My grandfather denied any supernatural aspects of religion. He was an enthusiastic advocate for science. He vigorously argued against all authoritarian forms of governance—religious and civil. <br /></p><p><br /></p><p>He believed in human divinity—the “living God”—the power of humans to pursue the ideals of truth beauty and goodness to make the world better a heaven on earth what I call “Natural Religion.”</p>
