The Religion of Nature Delineated

The Religion of Nature Delineated is a philosophical treatise written by William Wollaston in the 18th century. The book is an exploration of the concept of natural religion, which posits that the evidence of God's existence can be found in the natural world. Wollaston argues that this religion is based on reason and observation, rather than on revelation or tradition. He contends that the laws of nature are evidence of a divine creator, and that humans have a moral duty to follow these laws. Wollaston also discusses the nature of virtue, arguing that it is based on the pursuit of happiness and the avoidance of pain. The book was influential in its time, and is considered an important work in the history of philosophy and religion.1750. This work presents the author's thoughts upon three questions. Is there really any such thing as natural religion, properly and truly so called? If there is, what is it? How may a man qualify himself, so as to be able to judge, for himself, of the other religious professed in the world; to settle his own opinions in disputable matters; and then to enjoy tranquility of mind, neither disturbing others, nor being disturbed at what passes among them? To which is added a preface containing a general account of the life, character and writings of the author.
