He also critiques the prevailing religious beliefs of his time, arguing that they are outdated and no longer relevant to modern society. Instead, he advocates for a new form of religion that is based on reason and humanistic values.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of the relationship between manhood and religion.

He also provides examples of individuals who embody the ideals of the religion of manhood, including philosophers, scientists, and social reformers.Overall, The Religion of Manhood: Or The Age of Thought is an important work that reflects the changing attitudes towards religion and masculinity during the mid-19th century.
