Dick was an atheist who had a number of spiritual experiences, visions, and revelations, but attributed them to his drug use, or mental illness. He routinely asserted the weakness of faith, such as when he said, "reality is that which, when one stops believing in it, doesn't go away." Many of his stories involve intervention into human affairs by fantastic, space-dwelling deities.

In spite of his general left wing outlook, Dick was staunchly [[pro-life]], and wrote a story, "The Pre-Persons" in the wake of Roe v. Wade, in which Congress in a future USA rules that a child does not have a soul until he or she is able to perform algebra, and may be terminated at any time up to that.
