PUBLISHING---Thomas Moore, one of America's bestselling spiritual authors, has his finger on the nation's religious pulse. "What I see happening is that a lot of people are angry at the religion they grew up with," Moore said in a telephone inteview with AL.com. "Yet among the people who are angry, there's a lot of seeking going on. They don't feel they're at home. They envy the people who have a church to go to and feel good about it." Moore, in his most recent book, “A Religion of One’s Own: A Guide to Creating a Personal Spirituality in a Secular World," discusses the contemplative lifestyle he lived as a monk for 12 years, but embraces a broader spiritual search using art and music.
