R. Washington (William Robert Washington) Morality as a Religion An exposition of some first principles Produced by Al Haines "Morality as a Religion" by W. R. Washington Sullivan is a philosophical treatise written in the late 19th century. The book argues for a reconstruction of religion based on moral principles rather than traditional dogma, proposing that true religion is rooted in the ethical nature of humanity. Sullivan draws on the ideas of influential thinkers like Immanuel Kant and Ralph Waldo Emerson to advocate for an ethical movement that seeks to unify individuals through shared moral values, laying a foundation for a new religious consciousness. The opening portion of the book sets the stage for an exploration of the relationship between morality and religion. It discusses a historical backdrop where traditional forms of religious belief are seen as declining or inadequate. Sullivan emphasizes the shift towards a framework that recognizes morality as a fundamental basis for religious experience, distinguishing between genuine ethical conduct and mere philosophical assertions. The discussions highlight the challenges posed by declining religious institutions while arguing for an ethical religion that elevates moral life as a divine command, aiming to inspire a community focused on ethical living and cooperation for the betterment of humanity.
