Ursula K. Le Guin said she was raised with little religion, yet later became deeply interested in Taoism and Buddhism. She said Taoism helped her make sense of life, while Buddhism gave her useful meditation practices and a moral compass. Le Guin lived in Portland from 1958 and raised three children with her husband.
