    Based on his personal *and* philosophical leanings,

    it would appear that Joseph Campbell had a keen awareness that there was a "creator"

    but there is no strong or available evidence which places him into a defined system of belief.

    His works were based in several lodges of acceptance,

    but religion doesn't appear to be something that he, himself, required.
