Later Views On Islam
In 2010, Myatt publicly announced that he had rejected Islam, having developed his own weltanschauung, writing that "according to The Numinous Way, the only ethical way in which we can change ourselves, and our society, is through an inner, individual, transformation by developing empathy and by striving to live in an ethical, and honourable, way" and that "the desire not to cause suffering may be said to be the basis of individual living according to The Numinous Way".

Famous quotes containing the words views and/or islam:
“The universe is wider than our views of it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“During the first formative centuries of its existence, Christianity was separated from and indeed antagonistic to the state, with which it only later became involved. From the lifetime of its founder, Islam was the state, and the identity of religion and government is indelibly stamped on the memories and awareness of the faithful from their own sacred writings, history, and experience.”
—Bernard Lewis, U.S. Middle Eastern specialist. Islam and the West, ch. 8, Oxford University Press (1993)
