The Enlightenment's distinction between positive and Natural Religion furnishes a useful point of departure for thinking about the relationship, in today's world, between religion and Human Rights. According to eighteenth century Rationalism, Natural Religion consists in the simplest form of those beliefs that reason can admit to without contradiction, such as the existence of God and the immortality of the soul (Voltaire); whereas positive religions are merely the multitude of diverging institutions, dogmas, ceremonies and beliefs that human beings have created for themselves during the course of history. In Natural Religion, consciousness finds divinity within itself, and thus is co-responsible for the laws that it constructs and obeys; in positive religion, God imposes His commands from without.
