 While one finds religious belief and religious consciousness throughout history and throughout the world, Bosanquet rejects the view that all religions are on a par. Religious consciousness has evolved, and higher forms of religion—i.e., those which show a unity of the Divine and human nature—are the more ‘true’. What Bosanquet is ultimately interested in, then, is religion in its highest or most developed form—what Caird called “Absolute Religion”. Though Bosanquet does not develop what, specifically, this means, his Gifford lectures give some hint as to the direction of his thought.
