How we cite our quotes: (Book.Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
I had therefore as much religion as was natural in a boy of my years, or rather more. (2.1.39)
Rousseau's stance is that kids aren't naturally religious. He's no Puritan, that's for sure.
Quote #2
So, when I said that one should not talk to children about religion if one hopes one day they will have some, and that they are incapable of knowing God, even in our imperfect way, I was basing my conviction on my observations, but not on my own experience. (2.1.40)
Rousseau is constantly acknowledging that he doesn't know it all when it comes to religion. He's a humble guy.
