Since he grew up in a Protestant household and community, he became an Episcopal priest.

Once he incorporated Zen Buddhism into his Christian philosophy, he decided to go his own way, following what he called ‘the religion of no religion.’

He has criticized Protestantism for lacking mysticism and Catholicism for having too much dogma, but later in life came to view the mystical side as the most essential element.
