"Philosophical
religions” believe in a Principle of existence, or supreme wisdom,
and do not always believe in actual Gods, as “folk religion” does, says
Alexander Bard, who affirms the philosophical principles of
Zarathustra.
The
condescension of religious philosophers toward folk religion is ill
founded. Gods do exist, they are evolved to in material and
supermaterial evolution, and any philosophy describing them is
secondary. The living object and Supreme Object come before any principle
explaining them.
The ancient
primordial folk religions, at least in this basic ontology, were more
right then the later philosophical religions who look down on them.
