There is a series of interviews with philosophers of religion on the generally interesting blog http://prosblogion.ektopos.com, and given the intersection between philosophy and religion, they seemed like they might be of interest to others.
The latest interview, and links to the previous ones can be found here: http://prosblogion.ektopos.com/2015...gious-practices-part-12-a-religious-outsider/
It's hard to sum up, but I think they are interesting especially because they are interviews with professional academic philosophers whose views tend to be both more heterodox and idiosyncratic, and also more carefully considered and introspective than the average person. It seems like fairly often the interviewees bring up the value of religious aesthetics, of practice over theory, and of apophatic or more agnostic views of divinity, all of which seem important to me in terms of a more modern religious worldview.
