What reading level is Essay On the Common Features Which Appear in All Forms of Religious Belief book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This has led to Asceticism in India, whereby a power was obtained over the Deity, who was driven to practise unworthy tricks to break the power of the Ascete. Penance is one of the strange errors of the Romish Church.
If Ritual be kept within its legitimate limits, it matters not: it is then but a desire to protect the Essence of Religion, and to keep the thoughts from wandering, while engaged in Worship. This is what is sometimes called a warm Service, as opposed to the cold, haughty, attitude... of the Mahometan, who so many times a day bandies words with his Creator, like a Sentry reports to his Commanding Officer. But those, the externals of whose Worship is like the rind of the fruit, should be reminded, that the Ritual of the Christian is but a copy of Jewish and Pagan Originals. It is evident, that the Ritual of Moses owed much to the Egyptian and Babylonian, or in other words to the common germ of such developments, which is part of the outfit of the Human Race. In course of time the Christian borrowed from the Jewish, and the Roman, and Greek, Paganism around him.
