I think Templeton does try hard to be a long way from evangelical Protestantism. I didn't mean that he could be lumped in with Jerry Falwell. But best I can tell, Templeton's views are a kind of cheerful power-of-positive-thinking, optimistic, let's-all-figure-this-out-together, let's reconcile science and religion so that more progess can be made in both. I think he has moved from an American Presbyterian outlook to some form of Anglican/Unitarian pragmatic optimism.

Perhaps this is not a fair assessment. Perhaps, for example, he has read Dostoevsky or Kierkegaard.

Poor John Templeton. Whe he goes to heaven God is going to make him reach Schopenhauer, in German, and he may start to wonder if he came to the right place after all.
