One great thing about Reverend Ike was that in the guise of preaching religion, he was actually helping people become more conscious and self aware. He was helping them discard limiting subconscious beliefs and to cultivate positive, empowering beliefs.
In-fact, he has openly maintained that he is against organized religion and that the Bible is a book of psychology rather than a book of theology. He openly preached that God does not exist in the sky, but within each and every one of us.
