The thing with Dick is that 1500 years ago, he likely would have been a prophet (in the religious sense) as opposed to a SF writer (or just writer). He was plagued by experiences (whether drug fueled, mental illness, or genuinely religious is obviously open to debate, but it's impossible to doubt that he actually had them), and incorporated them into his work.
His later stuff, like Valis, is pretty much overtly religious. But even his earlier works contain the same themes - the nature of reality and the world.
