Synopsis
Hudson Tuttle was an extremely sharp-witted man who wrote books mostly on religion and its limiting effects on man. This book, Career of Religious Ideas, is no exception. Tuttle explains the Church's authority early on in the book by stating that the Church basically has no authority -- and backs himself up quite well. He is a champion for science rather than faith and considers proper knowledge to be our true savior. He states that "faith is another name for credulity, and is most reprehensible." True morality and goodness, he states, can only appear if we can rid ourselves of strict dogma.
