This book deals with: The psychological origin and the fundamental Nature of
Religion, The Original Emotion of Primitive Religious Life; and The Function
of Religion.

The failure to recognise in Religion three functionally related constituents —
conation, feeling, and thought — is responsible for a confusing use of the
term ‘origin.’ Some have said that Religion began with the belief in
superhuman, mysterious beings; others that it had its origin in the emotional
life, and these usually specify fear; while a third group have declared that
its genesis is to be found in the will-to-live. At this stage of our inquiry
the reader realises no doubt that these three utterances are incomplete,
inasmuch as each one of them expresses either the origin, or the original
form, of only one of the constituents of Religion.
