 He attacked the religion's blind faith in its own infallibility without ever losing sight of the Church's many beneficial traits.In a 1928 edition of The Austin Pulpit (a sister publication to Reason) he referred to the bible as being the "First among equals" among religious texts, provided that it is "interpreted rationally".In his 1920 book "The ABC of Spiritualism", Austin answered the question of how Spiritualists should relate to the organised Christian church by reminding his readers that Churches have "done good in many ways".
