After this, Steve Jobs never came back to church as he did not want to believe in such a God. Instead, Jobs would dedicate a lot of his years to practicing tenets of Zen Buddhism. He was more interested in Buddhism as it that emphasized spiritual experiences, instead of imposing some viewpoint and code.
