Religion - Positive Something

Tell your children that religion is a positive something, and not a negative something.
It is not the teachings of men, but a growth, a development of something higher within our nature that seeks outlet.

 Every child born into the world is born with a certain accumulated experience. The idea of independence which possesses us shows there is something in us besides mind and body.
The body and mind are dependent.
The soul that animates us is an independent factor that creates this wish for freedom.

If we are not free how can we hope to make the world good or perfect?
