É necessária a religião para o desenvolvimento da cultura? A visão de Christopher Dawson em seu livro Religião e Cultura

This essay synthesizes the historical argument with which Christopher Dawson bases, in his book "Religion and Culture", that a correct integration between religion and culture is necessary so that culture can correctly fulfill its proper function as a system of common life. The historical facts allow us to determine that an organic integration is possible when religion recognizes, on the one hand, the temporal values present in culture and, on the other hand, the conventional and perfective character of the cultural forms in which religious truths are expressed. Every religion must consider, moreover, as universally accessible to reason, certain fundamental truths which religious dogmas cannot contradict.
