A review by steeperthandeep
The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin by Benjamin Franklin

4.0

Though I took quite a while to read this having taken frequent breaks from it, I enjoyed it very much. I was interested to see what Mr. Franklin's views were on sectarian religion. Though he gives thanks to God on only infrequent occasions in his autobiography, I do not think those being rare exclamations give cause to doubt their sincerity. By his own word one can find reason to believe he felt religion as practiced in as much as possible in a non-sectarian spirit was a positive thing in the life of American society. If he was alive today I wonder what he would think about the religious right. I could only hazard a guess, but an informed one.
