I have studied Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism and religious writings from other faiths. I have listened to the beliefs of those who say they have abandoned religion altogether in favor of a "spirituality" or other ideology.

More IMPRESSIVE than any doctrine is the LIFE -- the EXAMPLE shown by followers of any faith, religion or ideology.
