THE EMPTINESS OF RELIGION | n t h e J uly 28, 1967 issue of Life magazine an article appeared, entitled, "Spry Downgrader o f Divinity.” The piece, in large measure, consisted o f an interview with one Dr. Greeley, Presi dent o f the Unitarian Association. Unitarianism is one o f the oldest religions in the United States. At the present time, it has only 275,000 adherents, in cluding 20,000 Universalists, who merged with the Unitarians in 1961. In the strictest sense o f the word, Unitarianism is an atheistic religion in that its followers do not believe in a personal God. "When I say God,” Dr. Greeley declares, " I mean a power that is within the whole life process, within all o f us. . . The power that I mean by God is behind the whole evaluation o f the galaxies as well as in all o f us.” In spite o f the fact that he repu diates the concept o f a personal God, who is the Creator and Preserver o f the universe, this theologian still holds that in his words, "The universe is purposeful rather than accidental. It is moral rather than neutral and has values that either are inherent in it or evolved within it and that are a part o f my life.” Unitarianism and Christianity are at opposite ends o f the pole on practically every facet o f theological thought. This is not to be wondered at in view o f the Unitarian extremely light opinion o f the Word o f God. Dr. Greeley flatly states: "W e are not bound by an adherence to a particular book— the Bible — or to a particular person— even Jesus— or a particular city, as a place o f our birth and authority, neither Rome nor Mecca nor Boston.” Plain statements in the Word o f God are brushed aside flippantly if they do not happen to be in accord with their particular fancies. For instance, this eminent Unitarian makes this incredible statement: "Jesus never thought o f founding a church.” How a person claiming to be educated or to know any thing o f the Bible or theology could say this is beyond one’s com prehension. Certainly Christ never spoke more emphatically than in His words recorded in Matthew 16:18: " . . . Upon this rock
