What reading level is Religious Life in America a Record of Personal Observation book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It would be a mistake to infer from this that I found religion divorced from morality. On the contrary, nowhere have I heard moral precepts more explicitly, even dogmatically, asserted than by Christian people of the South. But these precepts seemed to be regarded either as tests for ascertaining the sincerity of conver- sion or as rules more or less arbitrarily imposed upon believers. Religion was considered to be not so much motive infusing all life as one of the departments, though to be sur...e the chief department, of existence.
This view of religion may account for the fact that I found religion easily alluded to under all sorts of circumstances. A group of men in a Georgia city club, their " high balls " being all the while brought to them in rapid succession by the waiter, were as ready to men- tion, and dismiss, the subject of religion as the subject of college education or initiation into the ancient order of " Buffaloes. " The prevalence of this view of religion makes it easy to understand why there is so large a proportion of church membership to the popu- lation in the South.
