On Religion:

I’m not, of course, an expert of religion, but it seems to me
That the major faiths have much more in common than they are
Willing to admit. They share a basic point of departure- that is,
Our world and our existence are not freaks of chance but rather part of
A mysterious, yet integral, act whose sources, direction,
And purpose are difficult to perceive in their entirety. And they
Share a large complex of moral imperatives that this mysterious
Act implies. In my view, whatever differences these religions
Might have are not as important as these fundamental similarities…
