In Japan, at an international conference on religion, Joseph Campbell heard one American say to a Shinto priest, "We've been now to a good many ceremonies and have seen quite a few shrines. But I don't get your ideology. I don't get your theology."
The Japanese paused as though in deep thought and then slowly shook his head.
"We don't have theology. We dance." -The Power of Myth
Real religion is a feeling in your bones, your limbs, the ebullience and needful expressions of hope and despair that transcends mere thought and reflection.
