Excerpt from Religion for Men
The attitude of the average man of today toward the Christian religion is not one of open hostility but rather one of careless indifference. Actual atheism is very largely a thing of the past, and while multitudes of men live as though "there is no God," only here and there is one who openly avows his denial of a belief in God. The average man leaves God out of the affairs of his life, not by any carefully defined plan or purpose but simply by neglect. Prof. James wrote that if actions dictated by religion are not different from those dictated by irreligion then religion is a superfluity. So, if the life of any man is not made to differ by his religious faith he might as well have no faith.
There are several controlling reasons why many men are thus so indifferent.
