Abstract
Sidney Brooks essay in which he argues that "man is naturally a religious being." Brooks claims that all people and cultures have some notions of accountability and immortality from systems of religious belief. Though Brooks calls Christianity the only true religion, he argues that this human tendency to have systems of religion, even if they are "false" and regardless of whether or not the people are "enlightened," is helpful for those interested in spreading the Gospel. This essay fragment is presumed to be related to Brooks' studies at Phillips Academy or Amherst College.
