" The point is not to abandon all institutions and dogmas but to find a way to live with them more ironically, to appreciate them for what they are -- the play of the human mind in its endless quest for connection and meaning -- rather than timeless entities that have to be ruthlessly defended or forcibly imposed. "Religion today," says Don Cupitt, "has to become beliefless. There is nothing out there to believe in or to hope for. Religion therefore has to become an immediate and deeply felt way of relating yourself to life in general and your own life in particular. "
