What reading level is The Evolution of Religion book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We have, as it were, ascended into heaven, but have stolen from it no Promethean spark to kindle a fire upon earth. For the only result is to leave our "two consciousnesses," to use the strange expression of Mr. Spencer, in such complete discord with each other that they become the parents of two rival philosophies; and these two philosophies must continue their internecine war without end so long as human life lasts, or till its antinomies and inconsistencies are lost in the unknowable infinit...e from which for a season they have emerged.
Now I wish again, before criticising this view, to call attention to the elements of truth in it. In the first place, Mr. Spencer seems to me to be right in regard- ing the idea of God or of the infinite as the primary presupposition of all our knowledge. I agree with him also in thinking that the idea of the infinite is the 124 THE EVOLUTION OF RELIGION.
source out of which all religion springs, and that the clear consciousness of it is the last result of the de- velopment of religion.
