There is a great interest in comparative religion and a desire to understand faiths other than our own and even to experiment with exotic cults.

What I miss today more than anything else - I don't go to church as much anymore - but that old-time religion that old singing that old praying which I love so much. That is the great strength of my being of my writing.

Think about all the great leaders. Think about Obama. Think about Clinton. Think about Nelson Mandela. Think about all the people that we know who are very successful in business in politics and religion. What are they? They tell purposeful stories. They move people to action by aiming at the heart.

The increase of territory and power of empires by force of arms has been the policy of all great powers and it has always been possible to get the approval of their state religion.

I found it interesting that as people become more technically oriented all over the world at the same time people are becoming increasingly spiritual. The success of the Da Vinci code - even though it was a great yawn - also showed people's interest in religion.

Is woman a religion? Well perhaps you will have the chance of judging for yourselves if you go to America. There you will find men treating women with just the same respect formerly accorded only to religious dignitaries or to great nobles.

I believe that there is some spiritual entity that's greater than us. I do not belong to any specific organized religion. I have always believed that and I believe it even more so now. I believe that someone was listening to me and someone is giving me an incredibly blessed life.

It was a real surprise to me to come across the evidence that Christianity might once have been a danced religion. Certainly some of the early church leaders thought this was great and spoke of what seems to have been circle dancing perhaps around an altar.
