About this book
The Invention of a New Religion is credited to Basil Hall Chamberlain, listed as emeritus professor of Japanese and philology at the Imperial University of Tokyo, Japan, with the year 1912. A note says the writer of this pamphlet could but skim over a wide subject. The text says Voltaire and the other eighteenth-century philosophers, who held religions to be the invention of priests, have been scorned as superficial by later investigators.
The text says the twentieth-century Japanese religion of loyalty and patriotism is quite new and is still in process of being consciously or semi-consciously put together by the official class. The text calls the Japanese bureaucracy a body greatly to be admired. A parenthetical note says Dr. Ebina ends by recommending the Imperial Rescript on Education as a text for Christian sermons.
