The work examines the evolution of religious belief and the rise of a state of "non-religion" as a potential future for humanity, arguing against the permanence of dogmatic religions. Guyau explores the interplay between religion, aesthetics, and morals, suggesting that as society progresses, religious forms may dissolve, giving way to a more individualistic and rational approach to existence. The opening of the book introduces the central thesis that religion has originated and evolved through sociological rather than metaphysical processes. Guyau discusses various definitions of religion and emphasizes that the essence of all religious conceptions is the social bond between humanity and a cosmic society. He critiques both traditional and modern interpretations of religion, positing that all forms have evolved from primitive social understandings. The text sets the stage for a deeper exploration of how these religious roots may lead to a future where non-religious or rational frameworks fulfill humanity's social and moral needs, moving beyond mere dogma and myth.
