Is Paul McCartney religious?

McCartney was baptized and raised in the Catholic faith. It’s unclear if McCartney subscribes to a particular religion now, but he says he believes in a higher entity and described how drug use helped him see God. In an interview with The Times, McCartney said, “I once took a drug, DMT... And I saw God, this amazing towering thing, and I was humbled.” McCartney described the event as a clue instead of a life-changing moment, adding, "It was huge. A massive wall that I couldn't see the top of, and I was at the bottom. And anybody else would say it's just the drug, the hallucination, but we felt we had seen a higher thing."
