Synopsis
Excerpt from The Portent of Revolution
I have been impelled to write these observations upon the sub ject of Disestablishment by the extremely superficial way in which the question is being treated by the members and sup porters of the Liberation Society. A careful perusal of the speeches dealing with the matter from the Radical standpoint together with a study of the Articles of the Liberationist press for a period of more than ten years has demonstrated to me that Disestablishment is intended to be secured by affirming that which the Liberationist is afraid to subject to the test of historical experience and Reason. The conclusions of our N onconformist friends upon the question of Church and State always precede their premises with the result that hundreds of thousands of persons are being misled who have no time to devote to a con sideration of the subject. I believe I am right in saying that Reason is never allowed to play its part in a Debate upon Dis establishment even by Radicals of parts and erudition who should scorn to banker after a power that they believe can only be secured and retained by pandering to the prejudices of the people. If these pages should succeed in compelling the Libera tionist to perceive that the Disestablishment of the Churches of England, Scotland, and Wales, may be fraught with gigantic issues to the future history of the world their object will have been achieved.

The author explores the story of religious belief within this historical context, using examples from different belief structures including but not limited to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The author also explores the function and form of political power within the context of religion, as well as the role that social institutions play in establishing belief systems that serve the status quo.
