religious principles

religious principles
Those sentiments, concerning the relations between God and man, which may influence human conduct. Of these, perhaps the most influential hitherto has been the view entertained as to the probability that God would punish vice. A person's sentiments on that subject, whether of belief, disbelief, or doubt, must be deemed part of his religious principles. Percey v Powers, 51 NJL 432, 17 A 969.
