IS SPIRITISM A RELIGION?
“I have come, as I came on another occasion to those misguided sons and daughters of Israel, to bring the truth, and to dissipate the darkness. Harken unto me! As my words in the past have done, so must Spiritism remind the incredulous that above them reigns the immutable truth which is the existence of the good God, the grat God, who causes the plants to germinate and the waves to rise up. As a reaper, I have gathered up in sheaves the scattered goodness. In the breasts of humanity and said: “Come unto me, all you who suffer.” (The Godspel according Spiritism, Chapter VI, it. 5).
Spiritism is a philosophical doctrine of religious effects (Allan Kardec, Posthumous)
