Due to the author being Kant, an Agnostic in a very religious period “religious immaturity is the most pernicious and dishonorable variety of all” seems like something very suiting he’d say. However I too would have to agree. Although I’m not against religion, the fact that a pure belief is what holds a people back, being that it’s not something physical, nor is it tangible to me is as he would say it, is dishonorable.

The slaves had no choice but to be held back in progression, in religion the people are but forcing it on themselves.
