Yeah, wow. That will take me a while to read. I've not read stuff like that in a while and I rarely get time to read ONE single magazine page let alone a single page of stuff like that. I got it to read though.

To jump start me do you mind at least giving a definition of what you consider Natural Religion?? The term for me conjures up images of nature worship and such. I'm guessing it's more than that though. Thanks
