AtD blurb - "false" religiosity?

[David Morris]

I wouldn't be surprised  if Pynchon believed in some form of religion,
but his  indictment of "false religiousity" does not logically imply
that he does.  It is possible to percieve the hypocricy or calculated
use of someone else's religiousity without being religious one's self.

Again, the particular stripe isn't clear (and is his own business), but I think it's reasonable to assume that he's not an atheist.
