What reading level is Religion of Reason book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The old waves of ignor- ance and superstition had again rolled over it ; for the op- pressed people had not mind enough and knowledge enough to beat them back. And happily, too, the kind of knowledge, in acquiring which we are most successful in creating these habits of exacting proofs, is the very kind most adapted to save religion from be- ing confounded with superstitions and overwhelmed by them. It is physical knowledge. Milton would have been as clear of superstitions and of submission to ...authority-religions as was Humboldt, had he acquired physical knowledge to the extent Humboldt did ; and had he, moreover, lived in Humboldt's in- stead of in a comparatively dark and superstitious age. The study of the natural sciences — including, as it does, the habit of re- quiring strict proof — constantly diminishes that credulity through which superstition enters, and on which it feeds. The great reason why both naturalists and lawyers are generally want- ing in sympathy with the churches and their superstitions, and are, therefore, so generally called irreligious, is that they are ha- bituated to require evidence for what they believe.
