⁷ A religion is never free from the imputation of idolatry, in a practical sense, so long as the attributes with which it endows the supreme being are such that anything that man may do can be taken as in accordance with God’s will on any other all-sufficing condition than that of morality. For however pure and free from sensuous images the form of that concept may be from a theoretical point of view, yet, with such attributes, it is from a practical point of view depicted as an idol—the character of God’s will, that is to say, is represented anthropomorphically.
