Excerpt from Islam or True Christianity: Including a Chapter on Mahomed's Place in the Church
Natural religion, based on observations of natural phenomena, refers to more or less probable relations between the visible and the invisible world. Natural phenomena gave rise to conceptions about the world's origin and development; they raised the still nu answered question, Whence is man? What is he? And Whither is he going? Those forces of Nature which man regarded as the most powerful were by him personified and deified. Thus the idea of many gods may have swayed mankind for a long period. The observed harmony in Nature seemed, however, to point to one force above all others - to an aboriginal force. Incapable to define the essence and origin of the same, some Orientals assumed the eternal existence of an invisible, and apparently non material, world-pervading natural force, of an ether, breath, or spirit.
