  KING OF GLORY! in religion video
religion is a set of common beliefs and practices generally held by a group of people, often codified as prayer, ritual, and religious law.
religions present a common quality, the "hallmark of patriarchal religious thought": the division of the world in two comprehensive domains, one sacred, the other profane.
Religion is often described as a communal system for the coherence of belief focusing on a system of thought, unseen being, person, or object, that is considered to be supernatural, sacred, divine, or of the highest truth.

They deny that there is either glory or truth in it; and it will ere long appear (it begins already to evidence itself) what greater multitudes there are, who yet do not, who yet dare not, openly reject the doctrine of it, who in truth believe it not, nor see any glory in it.

 The Common Principles of the Christian Religion-God's Glory the Chief End of Man's Being.
It is indeed his glory, because he is, and there is none else; there is nothing, besides him, but that which hath issued forth from his incomprehensible fullness.
And there is the more reason of it, that his majesty’s seeking of his own glory is not prejudicial to the creature’s good, but the very communication of his fullness goes along with it: so that in glorifying himself, he is most beneficial to his own creatures.
However, if there be not always an express intention of God’s glory, yet there ought to be kept always such a disposition and temper of spirit as it may be construed to proceed from the intention of God’s glory; and then it remains in the seed and fruit, if not in itself.

And about his administration (dadarih) of the creatures it is said he himself became cut away from radiant glory [khwarrah] by that fiendishness, and their cause of wandering (garinishno) is the demon, and mankind perishes in that wandering from plain and hill-side.

Thus the pax deorum is for Rüpke the normal state of affairs between men and gods: mutual non-intervention, to which the exception is contact with the divine for particular purposes, in defined situations, carried through very precisely and punctiliously (perhaps a reflection of the scrupulous pleonasm of legal language?).

The glory of mystery is not that it is hidden, but that the mystery is rolled back and we discover beauty behind the veil of secrecy which previously hid it.
The glory of these beautiful scenes were not simply because they were hidden, the beauty was discovered at the moment of unveiling.
The mysteries of true religion are not beautiful because they are incomprehensible, they are beautiful because they offer moments of unveiling when the fog rolls away, and I can catch glimpses of beauty and wisdom.

 Extracts from the Works of Mr. John Smith: Vanity of Pharisaic Righteousness, Part II
But when true religion begins once to dawn upon men's souls, and with its shining light chases away, their fl night of ignorance; then they behold themselves and all things else enlightened by one and the same sun, and all the powers of their souls fall down before God, and ascribe all glory to him.
Though the first appearance of it upon the souls of good men may be but as the wings of the morning, spreading themselves upon the mountains, yet it is still rising higher and higher upon them, chafing away all the mists and vapors of sin before it, till it arrives to its meridian altitude.
Religion is no sullen stoicism, no sour pharisaism; it does not consist in melancholy passions, in dejected looks, or depressions of mind: but it consists in freedom, love, peace, life, and power; the more it comes to be digested into our lives, the more sweet and lovely we find it.

Tillich goes on to say that "Religion opens up the depth of man's spiritual life which is usually covered by the dust of our daily life and the noise of our secular work.
Neither of them should be in separation from the other and both should realize that their very existence as separated is an emergency, that both of them are rooted in religion in the larger sense of the word, in the experience of ultimate concern.
To the degree in which this is realized the conflicts between the religious and the secular are overcome, and religion has rediscovered its true place in man's spiritual life, namely, in its depth, out of which it gives substance, ultimate meaning, judgment, and creative courage to all functions of the human spirit."

 Protestantism and the Quest for Certainty
Here were ecclesiastically appointed theologians who, without hesitation, approached their own sacred scriptures in a spirit of critical inquiry—not, as the philosophes of the Enlightenment would have intended, in order to destroy faith, but on the contrary in order to arrive at a better understanding of the meaning of faith.
Well, the sociology of American religion suggests an answer: Yes, such institutions may be "weak"; the commitment of their members may be rather unreliable; but, yes, they can survive—and sometimes they show a surprising vitality.
What I am suggesting here, contrary to much conventional wisdom, is that they may derive a measure of comfort from this very fact and that it is on the basis of this acceptance that they might rethink their mission in American society.

Such a blessed glory is not available to any worldly being.
