Not surprisingly from a master of theology, it is intensely religious:

He was intensely religious and an active Catholic.

He appeals to the intensely religious conservatives drawn into the Reagan coalition on social issues.

His family denied he was a member of any militant group, and described him as intensely religious.

He is portrayed as an intensely religious man, nicknamed Dismal Jimmy by the men under his command.

He wrote four works that survive, three dwelling on intensely religious themes.

He was given an education considered good according to the standards adopted by a small, isolated and intensely religious little community.

At about the age of sixteen, however, he had an intensely religious experience he later called his "light experience."

He proved to be intensely religious, cursed with little political sense, and with too many able and ambitious sons.

This may seem an arcane distinction, but in an intensely religious age it was enough to divide an empire.
