Document Summary
James- [religion is] the feelings, acts and experiences of individual men in their solitude, so far as they apprehend themselves to stand in relation to whatever they may consider the divine. Tillich- [t]he religious aspect points to that which is ultimate, infinite, unconditional in man"s spiritual life. Religion, in the largest and most basic sense of the world is ultimate concern. Marx- man makes religion, religion does not make man. In other words, religion is the self- consciousness and self-feeling of man who has either not yet found himself or has already lost himself again. But man is no abstract being squatting outside the world. Man is the world of man, the state, society religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of the heartless world, just as it is the spirit of a spiritless situation.
