What Is Religious Science?
“The world is tired of mysteries, does not understand symbols, and longs for Reality.”
The Science of Mind
by Ernest Holmes

Religious Science is an open system of thought, it grows continually as humankind evolves, drawing on the frontiers of knowledge as well as the wisdom of the ages. It can be approached as a science, a philosophy and a religion.

As a science, it is based on specific principles that have been verified by many of the world's leading scientists. Scientific knowledge is applied through individually tailored techniques to expand people's thinking and, as a result, their experiences.

Dr. Ernest Holmes
Founder of Religious Science
As a philosophy, Religious Science is a down-to-earth, easily applied way of thinking about the nature of the universe and our relationship to it. When we understand ourselves as both creations and co-creators of the universe, we are free to express the unlimited potential within each of us.

As a religion, Religious Science is a metaphysical expression of universal truths revealed in all the world’s religions. Free of concepts subject to doubt and speculation, it appeals to reason and is straightforward in its approach.

There is a power for good in the universe that is available to everyone who understands and knows how to use it. Religious Science is a way of life and thinking that helps people realize their true natures and individual goals in life.

Very simply, we believe that the universe is fundamentally spiritual — it has intelligence, purpose, beauty and order.

Whether we call it God, Nature, Spirit, Energy or Universal Intelligence, all emanates from this Spiritual Universe. We believe this universal intelligence is within us as well as around us, and that we are conscious of it.

Our beliefs are in harmony with the basic tenets of all the world’s great religions and many of our students are practicing Christians, Jews, and those of other faiths.
