Offered is "BUT IS IT RELIGION? Some Comments on a Question Unitarians Are Often Asked," the text of a sermon given by the Rev. Stephen H. Fritchman and published in mimeographed print form as the February 1959 Sermon of the Month by the First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles. A stapled pamphlet measuring 7" by 8-1/2" and containing 16 pages including front and rear covers. His sermon begins, "This address could be of a far higher temperature if I allowed myself to say all that might be said. I could quote Dr. Oscar Riddle of Illinois on the schizoid nature of American intellectual life today which is due to the needless and absurd maintenance of religious views that became archaic a century ago upon the publication of [Charles] Darwin's 'Origin of Species.' Our loitering scholarship in technology, engineering and the social sciences, dramatized by contrast with great advances in other lands, Dr. Riddle attributes to a powerful religious conditioning in this country by Protestant and Catholic alike. The cost of maintaining outmoded religious views is very practical and political in nature. If we feed our minds and our culture on outmoded religious ideas we must expect malnourishment to exact its price." Previously, but lightly, folded. The REVEREND STEPHEN H. [HOLE] FRITCHMAN (1902-1981), author, liberal humanist, and social and antiwar activist, was the minister of the progressive First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles, California, from 1948 to 1969.
