What reading level is The Religion of Democracy; a Manual of Devotion book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
III. —Regard the historic drama. History begins with the birth of the idea of liberty; what went before was prehistoric, dim, undif- ferentiated, protoplasmic. The primeval tribe and village commune, brooding under the unchallenged sway of habit and tradition, are cast for no role in the historic drama. Theirs is the prologue of the play, serving only to indi- cate the point from which the story runs. His- tory begins when the hard cake of custom is shattered by ambition and the will-to-live. T...he action is dual, has two principal phases; and these stand in sharp contrast and contradic- tion. History is ancient and modern.
The ancient spirit had free course until this era; it maintains a prevailing influence to this day. The modern spirit proceeds from the Man of Nazareth ; it grapples with the other in irre- ducible antagonism. Both strive for liberty; but the liberty of one is in self-assertion, of the other in self-abandonment. One has pride, au- thority, ambition, circumspection; the other, humor, veracity, enterprise, insight.
