Our Belief: No, it's not a construct, projection, etc.
"To say that religion is a human projection does not logically preclude the possibility that the projected meanings may have an ultimate status independent of man. Indeed… the anthropological ground of these projections may itself be the reflection of a reality that includes both world and man, so that man’s ejaculations of meaning into the universe ultimately point to an all-embracing meaning in which he himself is grounded… this would imply that man projects ultimate meanings into reality because that reality is, indeed, ultimately meaningful, and because his own being contains and intends the same ultimate meanings…I want to at least suggest this possibility to the theologian."
