Here's a comment from Tony on Free Republic about faith that might help:

Final point: My “secular” description of consolation was less secular than you might imagine. The simple impulses to practice compassion make absolutely no sense in a world shorn of meaning, guided by mere caprice, and eventuating in a dusty casket. There would be no reason to feel empathy, sympathy or love. But we do, whether we consider ourselves believers or not. And the pertinent question to ask once we grant to one another our shared humanity is: Why do all generations of mankind share the same basic precepts, same feelings of compassion, the same altruism — especially toward the young — despite wild changes in the natures of societies themselves. Governments have evolved radically over the last two milennia. Basic moral precepts have not. And the overwhelming question — the one that led me, at least, back to faith is: Why?

Rush was interviewed on FNC today and one line stuck in my mind. "He(Tony) thought that going to heaven would be a promotion" from his multitude of earthly accomplishments.

Tony's entire response in that thread was nothing short of prose; further it signified an impressively dignified reply to one of the most laughable pri*ks to ever infect our Free Republic.

I heard last nite that Tony had converted to Catholicism....do you know if that is true? It must have been recently, if so.
