Vinny is a "neo-humanist," according to his religious views.
Basically, take humanism, the philosophy and ethical precept that essentially points out that good came before god; before there was established monotheisms or even polytheisms, humans were still not anarchistic murderers of all they came across and in contact with, that humanity is inborn with its various flaws but it is not inherently evil, and the claim that humanity can only be good with god is bunk.
Then, add in "all good comes from god, and when someone chooses to love god, they will learn to love everyone else in turn." That's neo-humanism.
Seeing how stupid of a philosophy what he follows is yet? It's basically saying "human beings are good without god, but you'll only love other people if you love god."
