Цепочка: религиозная форма убеждений

Аргумент главы IV: почему всякая сильная вера толпы принимает религиозную форму — и почему из этого следует, что историю творит душа масс.

1. Религиозность — это отдача воли делу или лицу — religious-form-of-conviction

   A person is not religious solely when he worships a divinity, but when he puts all the resources of his mind, the complete submission of his will, and the whole-souled ardour of fanaticism at the service of a cause or an individual who becomes the goal and guide of his thoughts and actions.

2. Герой толпы — для неё бог — religious-form-of-conviction

   The hero acclaimed by a crowd is a veritable god for that crowd.

3. Спутники веры — нетерпимость и фанатизм — conservatism-of-crowds

   Intolerance and fanaticism are the necessary accompaniments of the religious sentiment.

4. Толпа прежде всего требует бога — religious-form-of-conviction

   The crowd demands a god before everything else.

5. Оттого крупные события — дело души масс — religious-form-of-conviction

   At the bottom of such events is always to be found the working of the soul of the masses, and never the power of potentates.
