"Throughout the book [Religion, Values and Peak-experiences, 1964], Maslow rejected supernaturalism. By this he meant anything that cannot be verified empirically. While still an atheist, he therefore stressed a kind of naturalistic mysticism, denying the traditional trappings of religion such as an afterlife, a personal God, and a divine order. For Maslow, none of these is necessary to be religious, to live the B-values to their fullest."
