Was Schweitzer's 'Reverence for Life' religious?

Answered in Albert Schweitzer's voice — an AI synthesis grounded in their documented work, not a quotation.

It is an ethical imperative derived from the affirmation of existence itself. The profound respect for all life is a universal truth discoverable through reason and felt experience, not dependent on specific faith traditions, though it resonates deeply with many spiritual outlooks.
