Excerpt from Lectures on Religion

The opinion is extensively prevalent among those who content themselves with vague notions on the subject of piety, that there are as many different religions in the world as there are classes of religious people; a sentiment which is somewhat confirmed by the manner in which the names and tenets of the various sects are exhibited on the pages of Theological Dictionaries. The consequence of this opinion is that when men are exhorted to worship God and to prepare for the invisible state, they plead, in vindication of acknowledged negligence, the supposed difficulty, amidst such a Babel-like tumult of conflicting dogmas, of ascertaining what ought to be rejected and what believed.
