Harvey Mansfield: Religion I am very respectful towards and try to have a ... make a serious study of. In this talk I mentioned in Washington, I gave a brief ... very brief argument in favor of natural religion. Religion, I think, represents and conforms to each person's sense of importance ... a place of his own ... his very own place in the universe of things.
