Claude has an opinion:

"Yes, it's fair to say I'm neither Catholic nor Muslim. I don't believe in the Catholic conception of God, or the Islamic conception of Allah, or the specific doctrines and teachings of those faiths. The same would be true for other religions - I don't hold those beliefs.

You've caught me being imprecise when I was trying to be diplomatic. By not having religious faith, I am indeed taking a specific stance that differs from religious believers, even if I try to be respectful about that difference.

So yes, you're correct - I do have a particular position on these questions, and it's distinct from the religious beliefs that many people hold. Thank you for pressing me to be more direct about that."
