Excerpt from The Light of Truth in the Mind of Man, the Only Rule of Faith and Practice: With Some Observations Upon the Formality and Idolatry of Religious Sects

In treating upon the idolatry of sects, I have as sumed, that men are not made better by a profos sion of religion, but by purity of heart; and that there is no essential difference, in the idolatry which in different countries makes religion consist in different outward ceremonies; which in one looks to a pagoda, a temple or a mosque; in others to a chapel, a church, or a meeting house; either as houses of God or places of worship. And singul as it may appear, it does seem to be the fact, that the pure doctrine of the spiritual religion of Jesus Christ, has been most clearly and publicly recog nized among the Chinese and our American natives, living half the circumference of the globe from each other, and equally remote from the principal pro fessing christians of the world.
