Rick believes two major things that we explore two parts.  The first belief is that "religion has failed us" and I spent most of the time understanding his criteria for failure.  We came to the conclusion that Religion fails people by taking credit for things people can do without it.  While Rick wasn't religious in the sense of a strict traditional god belief, he did believe in spiritual truths.  We then explored spiritual truths came to the conclusion that while they're not actually true, or useful for coming to true conclusions, they can be useful motivating factors to inspire people to do something positive.  

Personal review: 

😊

It was hard to get a straight answer from Rick, and as a result I spent a lot of time trying to clarify what he meant.  I'm glad I did though, because I would have then made a lot of unneeded assumptions.  By the end of the first half of the interview, it sounded like I was talking to an atheist with a solid base in humanism and secular morality.  But by the second half I realized that he was still holding onto some supernatural claims and I was happy to dig down there without any previous bias.
