In your first reply to me you said, "If you mean the end of religion in terms of a means to an end - I would agree." But that's inconsequential. As I already said, I completely agree with you, sans one small bit -- when you quote Caputo (in that linked article) saying, "we do not know who we are, and that is who we are," I must disagree.

We can know who we are. That is, we can realize our subjective perspective (soul, consciousness, God, Absolute, Brahman, Tao, you name it). Heck, we are "it." Moreover, the fact that we are is a blatant truism. Hence we can know "I" and "am" beyond any doubt (but that's where it ends). And again, I completely agree with you that "the world is a question to us." I'd say that it will forever be (and that's the beauty of it, IMO).

To sum it up, let go of agnosticism, too ;)
