I grew up very religious, and I don't have a great relationship with religion.

Religion points to that area of human experience where in one way or another man comes upon mystery as a summons to pilgrimage.

There's no reason to bring religion into it. I think we ought to have as great a regard for religion as we can, so as to keep it out of as many things as possible.

I think I like big issues, but I don't believe in God or religion.

Religion promotes the divine discontent within oneself, so that one tries to make oneself a better person and draw oneself closer to God.
