Pink Floyd and Religion

Just wondering what the religious prefrences of David, Roger, Nick, Richard, and Syd are or were in the past, if any. I got to thinking about this, and couldn't believe I didn't know. I have some ideas... If anyone does know let me know- Thanks

Thanks MadCap69... this is interesting to me. Don't know why. But I'm learning something I never knew about Floyd FINALLY!!!! I haven't felt this excited about Floyd since I heard Pompeii was going to be released on DVD. Of course that was just a month ago, but still!

ps... I think I'm going to start my own Religion... The Church of Floyd anyone wanna join?

Syd was once very much interested in Eastern mysticism shortly before he named the Floyd. He wanted to enter a cult-ish group (the San Mat i think) who rejected him, which may have lent to his future mental problems. I'm not sure what he was before that, if anything I'd guess Anglican.

::Raises hand.:: Count me in!

That reminds me of, when I was in high school and Feeling Very Confused about religion...if someone asked if I'd come to any conclusions, I'd say, "Yes, as a matter of fact, I'm practicing Zappaism."

Religion scares me.

But I'm all for being into "The Philosophy of Floyd".
