If I have to apply a religious label to myself, "Taoist" comes as close as anything. That's where I've been for thirty-five years and I doubt I'll be changing my views any time soon.

I had a brief encounter with Unity Church, a nominally Christian denomination which is sort of a half-way-house for those who really want to embrace more Eastern ideas but can't kick the go-to-church-on-Sunday habit. It didn't hurt me.

My wife's a practicing Tibetan Buddhist and she has tried to get me interested in their practices. While I have a deep afinity for much Buddhist thought I don't care for religious ritual and those Tibetans have enough rituals and chants to make Catholics look like pikers.
