I thought a while before responding. I want to avoid going on and on, as I too often do. But when Rubin was on a speaking tour, I'd bring c0-workers from the Mental Health Clinic to listen to and meet him. I remember one psychologist friend saying Rubin sounded like a Southern Baptist minister. I told her that his father and grandfather had been just that!

Rubin identified as an atheist. But he studied all types of religions and philosophies. And he called Jesus "the Master" in our discussions on these topics. He viewed the historic Jesus to be a great prophet, and agreed with Malcolm that people should take him off stained-glass windows and insert him into their being.
