>It should be observed that in a religion where the social and sentimental elements preponderate over the intellectual, both the dogma and the cult have their share reduced more and more, so that a religion of this kind tends to degenerate into 'moralism' pure and simple, as is well exemplified in the case of Protestantism; at the extreme limit, almost reached at the present day by a certain 'liberal Protestantism', what remains is no longer a religion at all, since it has preserved only one of the essential factors; it amounts simply to a kind of specialized philosophic thought.
