Julian Huxley made the observation in 1959, "All religions are organs of psychosocial man concerned with the problems of his destiny, and involving the emotion of sacredness and the sense of right and wrong. The emergent religion will be able to take advantage of the vast amounts of new knowledge…the framework of facts and ideas which provide its intellectual support. It should be able, with our increased knowledge of mind, to define our sense of right and wrong more clearly so as to provide a better moral support, and to focus the feeling of sacredness intensively on better objects.
"Evolutionary man can no longer take refuge from his loneliness by creeping for shelter into the arms of a divinized father figure whom he has himself created, nor escape the responsibility of making decisions by sheltering under the umbrella of divine authority, nor absolve himself from the hard task of relying on the will of an omniscient but unfortunately inscrutable providence."
