God, the Invisible King
by H. G. (Herbert George) Wells
"God, the Invisible King" by H. G. Wells is a theological tract published in May 1917. Written during World War I, Wells presents his personal religious beliefs while explicitly rejecting traditional Christianity and the doctrine of the Trinity. He argues for a "modern religion" centered on a finite God of the human heart rather than a creator deity. Wells envisions this God as courage, love, and youth, leading humanity toward a future theocracy through active struggle rather than passive suffering.
