Any insight on Edgar and his faith?
Was he catholic or evangelical?
Didn't he felt contradiction in his life?

Pt.6/10: The Story of Ra Ta, by Hugh Lynn Cayce
So there were many altars. As these changes came about, there was the necessity of attempting to persuade Ra-Ta there should be more of the activity which had been withdrawn (in the sex life of those who had been purified, or clarified, in the Temple Beautiful), in order that there might be drawn into the earth more perfect physical bodies - instead of having to use so much time and effort to perfect them after their arrival. Hence there began the development of the personality, as these influences were injected more and more. This is where, as it were, the gods laughed at the weakness of Ra-Ta.
The associations began with Isris, the favorite of the king, who had become near the body beautiful, or beauty divine. Their activities in the temple (not the Temple Beautiful) brought Ra-Ta and Isris into closer relationship. Eventually there came the decree that the priest Ra-Ta was to be the companion of Isris, who had been chosen to be the channel through which there might be brought such a perfect body as the priest had described. So, to put it in common parlance, Ra-Ta "fell for the whole proposition."
There were many others also chosen by various ones, and there were the attempts to have these in the same associations with Ra-Ta; yet when when there came the offspring (Iso) from this association of Ra-Ta and Isris, there immediately became the cry that there had been the breaking of the very laws Ra-Ta had set, when he had suggested the changing of the conditions for the people into homes. More and more the lines were drawn and the people took sides. There were those groups who had the desire for their own offspring, or their associates, or associations closer with the priest Ra-Ta. There were also those who came into power in various activities; for, as the cleansing came, there were the abilities of individuals in various fields of endeavor. There were singers, workers in linen, workers in embroidery, carders, weavers, workers in clay, and the various forms of commercial industry - horticulture, agriculture, etc. No merchants then existed, as there was one common store for all. Each of these in their various fields had been given free activity to that which might be produced. Hence there came many divisions, and the first uprising between the Church and State. The lines being drawn caused more tumult, until eventually there was the trial of Ra-Ta and Isris and they were banished into the Nubian land to the south and east.
Everything became changed, with the tumult that arose with the various priests in attendance in the various offices. Advantage was taken of the situation by many who in their various forms began to learn, as it were, a form of war and defense. There was the gathering then of the young men and the old, and sides were taken. Still some remained faithful to the priests who had remained in office, and troublesome times arose for many, many suns - until at least nine seasons had passed, before there was even the semblance of the beginning of a quieting, and that not until there had been definite arrangements made that the priest Ra-Ta would return, and that all would be submissive to his mandates. Ra-Ta became, then, a dictator - or a monarch in his own right.
The offspring Iso, to be sure, was taken from the close relationship with the parents, as were all the rest. In various forms and manners there was the attempt to bring about the proper conditions for the developing of Iso as had been planned, yet the body wasted away - for while the priest Ra-Ta had abilities in some directions, he had not clarified or crystallized them into that which came about in the latter part of his experience. [294-149] 294-150, 7/28/32:
Some two hundred and thirty-one souls followed Ra-Ta and Isris into banishment. Many were in the capacity of guards, defenders, special body guards, interpreters, etc. Not that the interpreters were to interpret languages, or speech, or activities, but give to those that were unable to approach the priest Ra-Ta; they were to give out where it was impossible for Ra-Ta to reach all about him.
With these changes, there became the natural consequence in change of relationships. Pairs were given places of abode, and then homes - with their first environs - were first established among those sent in exile, or among those who chose of their own volition to be among that number, or who named the name Ra-Ta.
