My guess on your professor would be that he is unsatisfied with the religious organizations but has some ideals and experiences some sort of "spiritual" feeling. Kind of like voting Democrat because it focuses more on personal liberties, but being disturbed by how much pettiness and graff there is in the party. Something like that.

It is however rather ridiculous that it matters what he thinks, given he is an English professor. You know, I read Paradise Lost too, but I wouldn't try to come off as an expert on the Anglican faith. It actually seems hilariously ironic that an English professor would seemingly insinuate claims outside his ability to support or his expertise...now THAT'S an English 101 lesson right there for you.
