When Bernard Shaw abandoned Ireland in 1876 to join his mother and sister in London, he stepped unknowingly into the geographical center of a religious-intellectual turbulence almost without precedent. Moving for thirty years in the midst of the melee of Secularists, Humanitarians, Ethicalists, New Lifers, Zeteticists, Spiritualists, Comtist Positivists, and Theosophists, to mention a few, he steadfastly maintained his atheism and refused to align himself with any one group. Then in 1906, in a speech, "The Religion of the British Empire," given at London's City Temple, he emerged with what could properly be called a religion, and a fairly systematized one at that. This speech is one of eleven on religion given by Shaw in the years from 1906 to 1937 and brought together for the first time in this book. Gathered from old newspapers, magazines, and, in one case, a phonograph record, they present more effectively than any study of his religious thought yet published Shaw's ideas on the nature of the evolving God and the function of religion in modern life.
