“Everyone has the need to make the ultimate surrender to something or some power or some person. We are restless until we find a home, a resting place which gives a sense of be-longing and is the source of all hope, power and certainty. Belief in an ultimate certainty, a god, by which we live our lives, no questions asked, is constitutive of being human… This feature of life, often referred to as the religious dimension, is perhaps more aptly referred to as the ‘certitudinal’ dimension of life.”
