The opening portion presents a critical exploration of contemporary religious thought, particularly focusing on skepticism toward the significance of belief in God and the implications of a "faithless world" for society and individual morality. At the start of the magazine, the author, Frances Power Cobbe, reflects on the current state of religious debate and tolerance, questioning whether belief in a deity is truly consequential to human existence. Cobbe introduces the idea that the decline of religion may not be as catastrophic as once assumed and hints at a future where humanity could ostensibly thrive without faith. The piece also sets the stage for a deeper inquiry into the potential changes in societal norms, moral values, and the role of religion in shaping human experience in light of this skepticism—suggesting societal behaviors would shift fundamentally without the guiding principles offered by religion.
