What reading level is The Making of Religion book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The savage notions, as Mr. Tylorsays, even when thus contaminated, may have 'to some extent, a nativesubstratum. ' We shall select such savage examples of the idea of aSupreme Being as are attested by ancient native hymns, or are inculcatedin the most sacred and secret savage institutions, the religious Mysteries(manifestly the last things to be touched by missionary influence), or arefound among low insular races defended from European contact by thejealous ferocity and poisonous jungles of pe...ople and soil. We also notecases in which missionaries found such native names as 'Father, ' 'Ancientof Heaven, ' 'Maker of All, ' ready-made to their hands.
It is to be remarked that, while this branch of the inquiry is practicallyomitted by Mr. Spencer, Mr. Tylor can spare for it but some twenty pagesout of his large work. He arranges the probable germs of the savageidea of a Supreme Being thus: A god of the polytheistic crowd is simplyraised to the primacy, which, of course, cannot occur where there is nopolytheism.
