What is Blake religion?

William Blake was a Christian and a member of the Swedenborgian Church. Swedenborgianism is a Christian denomination based on the teachings of Emanuel Swedenborg, a Swedish scientist, theologian, and mystic. Swedenborgianism emphasizes the spiritual meaning of the Bible and teaches that salvation comes through a process of regeneration in which a person's love for God and neighbor increases. Blake was drawn to Swedenborgianism because of its focus on the inner life and its belief in the possibility of direct communication with the divine. He also appreciated Swedenborg's belief in the unity of all religions and his rejection of traditional dogmas and creeds.
