I think Soren's beliefs on religion are disconcertingly close to mine. I don't subscribe to any traditional religions, but I understand their value, and I find simplistic arguments against religion quite annoying. That's one area where I can actually understand his beliefs, except that he attaches a civilising /cultural loading to Christianity that is stratospherically elevated above that of any other religion (except Judaism perhaps?). As a cultural "christian", I suspect he feels somewhat disinherited, and probably deep down, resents the fact that he doesn't actually believe in the Christian God.  His attribute of questioning sacred cows is commendable, but the truth often gets lost somewhere in that quest.
