Why do you need religion to express nature? Art is sufficient.Like I said, in a sense they are the same thing. I didn't say you need religion to express nature. I said nature encompasses society as the universe encompasses nature. I said Religion is not a mere function of society.
The value of religion is it gets everyone's art on the same page.Am I to just follow behind you sweeping up the garbage you leave? The value of things is at best difficult to express. Religion's value is nebulous - it is not a simple thing to be explained. We use symbolism to express the order of the things we see, but it isn't the symbolism we're after.
What do you mean "failure"?You portion out the "Sublime" and say some people just pretend. Everyone plays their part and to say more is incautious. In these matters it would be like saying "Some people are just not really part of the Universe." or "Nature" because they fail to earn attention in society. The sublime is just everywhere.
