Everything he says makes sense, check it out, ESPECIALLY as a "godless heathen" he'll make you feel comfortable with your own thoughts and feelings as well.
Campbell explained that he may never have a spiritual rapture like the Saints of Christianity but that his purpose was to understand the lessons, values, and morals of other religions. He's not pro or con any religion, the video was made in the 1980's during a time of trouble in Lebanon and he said "It's sad, the Muslims, Christians, and Jews are all fighting over the same set of metaphors just under different names"
