Van Morrison attends spiritualist church

Singer Van Morrison has revealed he is a member of a spiritualist church, but insists he is not religious.

The 71-year-old "Brown Eyed Girl" hitmaker is an outright atheist but said Agape International Spiritual Centre in Culver City, Los Angeles - which is endorsed by celebrities including Oprah Winfrey - is no place for religion and is much "deeper", reported Femalefirst.

Talking about the organisation, which is run by his friend Dr Beckwith, Morrison told Uncut magazine, "I'm a member and I am a friend of Dr Beckwith. I can't tell you much right now.

"If anyone wants to find out, I'd rather they looked it up themselves."
 

Quizzed about how religious the group seems, he said, "No, it's not religion. It's spiritual, but it's not religion. It's beyond religion.
