SERMON " EASY RELIGION IS A DANGEROUS

DELUSION" May 6

There are disturbing signs in the revival of religious interest today. Ir would appear that some people expect to find in religion an easy panacea for all problems, personal and psychological, which confrom man in chis troubled century.

Popular preachers fill rhe public press and rhe airwaves with tempting rides de­signed co give the impression char peace of mind and peace of soul are easily attain­able. One must simply keep cheerful, chink positively, be happy, and all will be well.

This is urcer nonsense. If religion is co be a soporific, taken like a parent medicine, to dull thought and rhus prevenr pain, ir would rmly qualify for condemnation under Marx's infamous phrase as an "opi­ate." Religion must challenge and stimu­late, not sedate. Religion must urge men to seek solutions of the problems which plague society, not seduce men to escape the problems.
