Se for isso mesmo, não seria nada espantoso. Tenho a terrível suspeita de que Schelling, o guru implícito de metade dos grandes insights de Voegelin (em especial a idéia de que há graus de "campacidade" na compreensão das naturezas espirituais, e que esses graus se manifestam em símbolos religiosos cada vez mais elaborados), também fosse um ateuzão, embora disfarçado.

Talvez seja essa a postura do Voegelin, João.

"But, as we say this, notice also that we are not dealing with a simple-minded denier of God, who belligerently argues that there is no God and who makes it plain that he is at war with religion, when we are dealing with Voegelin. We are dealing with an extremely sophisticated thinker, that is to say, with one who is by no means aggressively atheist.
Voegelin understands both the need for religion, and the role that it plays in man's life and in society, as well as the fact that religion is one of the symbolic expressions of the structure of human consciousness which is eclipsed at the cost of human decency and civility. Indeed, it is owing to this latter point that Voegelin speaks so knowingly and even positively about religion, despite his being of the view that 'there is no God,' and in the process puzzles many of his followers as well as opponents about his true views
