Principle 5:
Religion must be in accord with Science and Reason
Religion and Science are inter-twined
with each other and cannot be separated.
These are the two wings with which humanity must fly.
One wing is not enough.
Every religion which does not concern
itself with science is mere tradition,
and that is not the essential.
Therefore science, education, and civilization are most
important necessities for the full religious life.
