UNIVERSAL RELIGION DISCARDS FATHERS

Everywhere the relative definitively takes the place of the absolute, and altruism tends to bear down egoism, whilst a systematic method takes the place of a spontaneous evolution. In a word, Humanity definitively substitutes herself for God, without ever forgetting his provisional services. -Comte, Auguste, The Catechism of Positive Religion, 1852, P. 294.

Our progress will be sounder, if I first explain a religious institution, the special object of which is to condense our whole advance towards perfection, physical, intellectual, and moral, by concentrating it on one capital step. This is, the systematisation of human reproduction, by making it depend solely on the woman. -Comte, Auguste, SYSTEM OF POSITIVE POLITY, Vol. IV, P. 239.

In a word the new doctrine will institute the worship of Woman, publicly and privately, in a far more perfect way than has ever before been possible. It is the first permanent step towards the worship of Humanity. -SYSTEM OF POSITIVE POLITY By Auguste Comte (1851-1854),, Vol. I, P. 205.

When Positive reorganisation of opinions and manners shall have given women the first place in the Sociocracy, their share in reproduction will be largely increased, as a result of their increasing accessibility to the combined influences of continuity. If so, the Utopia of the Virgin Mother will become, for the purer and nobler women, an ideal limit, well adapted to stand as the concise expression of human progress, carried to the point of systematising and so ennobling procreation. -SYSTEM OF POSITIVE POLITY, V4, 212.
