PROFESSOR EXPLAINS
 RELIGION OF M0DERNS
Montague Outlines "Pro- metheanism"- Opposes
 Old Legends

New Haven, May 1.-(UP)-A ruddy little White-haired professor who may yet be known as religions savior. today attacked current re- ligious beliefs as shameful, reaction arv and irrelevant and advocated a new universal faith-"attuned to the modern mind"-which he calls Prometheanism.
 The prophet of Prometheanism IS William P. Montague. professor of philosophy at Columbia university, one time president of the American Philosophical society and saNant ot international repute.
 A thoroughly modern prophet was the jolly, 56-year-old professor clad ] in a light spring suit of "colleslate 1 cut and puffing a cigarette. as he told the United Press at Yale unl- yersity of his Wly-launChed bellet. l Professor Montague introduced his 1 theory in the Terry lectures which | he delivered before the Yale dlNlnl- ty school convocation here thls week, creating intense interest among the thcologians.
 Under the scientifically-ph phrased distractions of the professors eX- position is something which touches virtually every man.
 Religion must go,' said Pro- lessor Montague. With the increas- ing perfection of life through man own devices, religion, with its nega- tions and compulsions and outgro"n
 mythology is coming to seem un-
 necessary. Fear and sorrow, which
 drove primitive man to the solace
 of a mystical belief are no longer
 the themes of our more serious cul-
 ture.
 Reinforcement of the fullest life the professor explained, is the oD
 feet of Prometheanism, which de rives it's name from the legendar1 Greek Prometheus who dehed th' gods and thus became symbol o individualsm, selfpotentiality an Will-the keynotcs of the new faith Tn it's essence, Prometheanism l
