I think that there's great value in all religions because I think that they encourage us to be better than ourselves naturally would be.
And I believe that there are very common strains among all the world's great religions, Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, Judaism, all of them.
I think they're all just different expressions and different cultural historical norms that sing to different personalities and heritages.
So I don't think it's any great shock that most people in Western Europe and the United States are Christian.
That's our heritage.
That's where we come from.
But I've been in places like Papua New Guinea, where they have never been really exposed to it.
So they have their own deities, their own religion.
That doesn't make them bad people.
In fact, they can be very wonderful people.
So for me, I have a sense of spirituality through experiencing the world as it is.
I do not know what happens after we die.
Not really.
No, because I can't know it.
And my father was Episcopalian.
He was very devout.
And he really liked to believe in an afterlife that if you're a good person, you go there, which is great.
And I hope that he fulfilled that dream.
I just don't know.
And if I can't know something, I'm such a rational person.
