Excerpt from Book:
In entitling this
book THE RELIGIONS OF DEMOCRACY we have in mind the belief in the worth and
rights of the individual which characterizes all three of the faiths with which
it deals. Based upon religion, it repudiates all forms of tyranny. This
affirmation of the supreme importance of the individual lies at the foundation
of all true democracy.
This volume
presents in outline the three faiths to one or the other of which the citizens
of the United States, for the most part, adhere. It does not engage in
controversy, and the writers make no effort to justify the beliefs and practices
which they report. Nor is there any purpose to make converts from one faith to
another, but merely to state and interpret the faith of each group to other
groups in the interest of understanding.
If Jews, Catholics
and Protestants are to live happily and cooperatively together it is imperative
that they should understand one another. Such understanding will disclose, on
the one hand, the limitations and, on the other, the possibilities of
cooperation. As Americans all, they have the same obligations as citizens of
the one country and must work cordially together for the common welfare within
the communities which are their common homes. Each must stand for the rights of
all. Together they must resist the prejudices that would divide them and set
them in hostile camps.
