I firmly believe that he may have used some stray thoughts from his life's experiences, coupled with mythos and lore, added a good bit of imagination, and he's written a great fantasy story!
All this spiritual religious hooplah, I just don't see it. Any story can be twisted into mirroring the beliefs of just about ANY secular religion, the parables are parallel. I don't believe that's the case in this saga. It's a damn good fantasy story, but that's about it folks.
