...Speaking as of today...
...I do not consider it intellectually respectable to be a partisan in matters of religion...
...I see religion as I see such other basic fascinations as art and science...
...in which there is room for many different approaches , styles , techniques , and opinions...
...Thus I am not formally a committed member of any creed or sect...
...and hold no particular religious view or doctrine as absolute...
...I deplore missionary zeal...
...and consider excessive dedication to and advocacy of any particular religion...
...as either the best or the only true way , an almost irreligious arrogance...
...Yet my work and my life are fully concerned with religion...
...and the mystery of being is my supreme fascination , though , as a shameless mystic...
...I am more interested in religion as feeling and experience...
...than as conception and theory...
