From an interview with Brad Pitt posted at a German website:
BILD: Do you believe in God?
Brad Pitt (smiling): "No, no, no!"
BILD: Is your soul spiritual?
Brad Pitt: "No, no, no! I'm probably 20 per cent atheist and 80 per cent agnostic. I don't think anyone really knows. You'll either find out or not when you get there, until then there's no point thinking about it.

Maybe he's 1/64 Cherokee, too, like everyone else in the United States claims. ;-)

But my wife is a similar mind in that she is neither athiest nor religious. She believes we will all find out soon enough and there is no point worrying. And I sort go with that as well. I'm athiest only as it concerns how the religious are trying to screw everything up and I'm all for stopping the steaming piles of schite.
