DESCRIPTION
This book tries to show how the great psychological phenomenon, which we call religion, has developed and manifested itself in such various shapes among the different races and peoples of the world. It endeavours to become acquainted with Animism, this being the form of religion known to us by history, and served as their foundation. Also, it makes in-depth study of history of religion among the Chinese; Egyptians; Indo-Germans who came title, or not at all, into contact with the Semites, the Aryans, Hindus, Iranians, Letto-Slaves and Germans; and among the Indo-Germans in whose religion the national elements were supplemented and blended with others of north Semitic or a Hemitic origin, Viz. the Greeks and Romans. The Genealogical connection and historical relation of religions, which gave rise to different streams of development, have been taken into account as well.
