What reading level is English Secularism a Confession of Belief book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
An enemy may object to an adversary having a policy, because he is futile without one. The policy adopted may be bad, but no policy at all is idiocy, and commits a cause to the providence of Bedlam.
CHAPTER XIX.
APART FROM CHRISTIANISM.
"What is written by Moses can only be read by God. " Bikar Proverb.
SECULARISM differs from Christianism in so far as it accepts only the teachings which pertain to man, and which are consonant with reason and ex- perience.
Parts of the Bible have moral splendor... in them, but no Christian will allow any one to take the parts he deems true, and reject as untrue those he deems false. He who ventured to be thus eclectic would be defamed as Paine was. Thus Christians compel those who would stand by reason to stand apart from them.
To accept a part, and put that forward as the whole to pretend or even to assume it to be the whole is dishonest. To retain a portion, and reject what you leave, and not say so, is deceiving. To contend that what you accept as the spirit of Christianity is in ac- cordance with all that contradicts it, is to spend your days in harmonising opposite statements a pursuit demoralising to the understanding.
