Not in the traditional sense of the word, but: I have read enough philosophy and thought about the topic for long enough to realize that it’s an extremely complex one - and unfortunately one that (as you can see by the comments here) many otherwise intelligent people seem content to ignore. Religious history and beliefs underlie just about every part of the modern world, even the so-called atheist ones.

And so my position on religious matters is something like agnosticism, with the caveat that I do think some of these questions are answerable, even if there isn’t much societal energy trying to do so.

Personally, I find process theology to be extremely interesting and promising, although I haven’t spent the time to delve into Whitehead and other thinkers. Other interesting things are Daoism, Zen, and interpreting Nietzsche’s ideas in a religious manner (Julian Young wrote a book about this.) One of these days I’ll start a newsletter/blog about the study of religion…
