You know the scene. A church is quiet in the late afternoon. Candles burn. The music is gentle. Someone says, "This feels spiritual." Or Christmas comes around, and religion seems to mean tenderness, family, memory, softened light, and a brief mercy toward the world. Or a person says that prayer helps him feel calm, centered, and less alone.

Religion is not a mood
It is the virtue by which man renders God what is due. A virtue is a habit, not a feeling.
