Excerpt from Some Latter-Day Religions

But though Mr. Arnold sometimes holds to this latter view, in general he voices the belief that all the gods are dead, all altars overthrown, all faith in the divine perished from the earth, and that it is his to bring into the deserted Pantheon a new and abiding worship, the worship of Culture.

And what of this new worship? What is culture? Narrowly, To know the best that has been thought and said in the world. Culture is reading. More broadly, the harmonious development of our humanity, freedom from narrowness and prejudice.
