The spiritual element, the really important part of religion, has no concern with Time and Space, temporary mundane laws, or conduct.

Le Gallienne contrasts institutional or external religion—bound up with historical circumstance, social regulation, and moral policing—with what he calls the “spiritual element,” which he treats as inward and absolute. The claim that true religion has “no concern with Time and Space” suggests a mystic or idealist view: the deepest religious reality is not located in particular rituals, legal codes, or even outward “conduct,” but in an interior apprehension of the eternal. Read this way, the line critiques attempts to reduce religion to rules or to make it serve temporal power, and it elevates personal spiritual experience above dogma and social conformity.
