      I am not, no – I’m an atheist (believe that there are no gods at all) . I went to a Christian school from the age of 8 – 18, but I found it hard to grasp the idea of religion. My parents also never enforced it. However, I work with people of all faiths and its great learning about the different cultures and traditions.

      No I’m not, I’m agnostic, which means I think it’s impossible to prove or disprove the existence of a god. I actually think religion is super interesting, I just don’t happen to be religious! I took a short summer course on religion during high school and it was fascinating.

      No, not really. I understand why people choose to believe but think, like with anything, it is really hard to prove absence. Besides, for people who do believe the psychological benefits can be really significant – which has a positive impact on their lives and can be good for communities in relation to things like loneliness and isolation.
