I think the Catholic and Protestant churches have become very stagnant.

I think that obviously humans find it very difficult to believe that there is no there there. So they created these stories and myths to give their lives some meaning.

I do think that many religious people have enormous doubts.

Even Colin Powell who was everywhere before he became secretary of state, just stopped going out. I think part of it was he didn't want to be viewed suspiciously by the other people in the White House who rarely go anywhere.

I think, certainly in the more civilized societies, women's roles are growing in power all of the time.
