各宗教向來把這一種整個而持久的改變認作它們的勞績. 我却要把這一句話翻過來說: 任何時候有這種改變發生, 那裏便有一個明確的宗教的態度. 並不是有"一個"宗教叫這現象發生, 反之, 在它發生的時候, 不管原因和方法是什麼, 那裏便有一種宗教的看法和功用.

English translation

It is a claim of religions that they effect this generic and enduring change in attitude. I should like to turn the statement around and say that whenever this change takes place there is a definitely religious attitude. It is not "a" religion that brings it about, but when it occurs, from whatever cause and by whatever means, there is a religious outlook and function.
