My study of religion, which I regard in many ways as an art form, is a search for meaning.

There are some forms of religion that are bad, just as there's bad cooking or bad art or bad sex, you have bad religion too.

We constantly have ideas and experiences that go beyond what we can say or know. Most often these are expressed in art, in painting, in music. Music, everyday confronts us with a form of knowing that doesn't depend on words.

Like art, religion is an imaginative and creative effort to find a meaning and value in human life.
