What religion is Ian McKellen? Is Ian McKellen an atheist?
The veteran English actor is a confirmed atheist. When quizzed on the religion subject by a reporter from the astute Men’s Journal he said: “I don’t understand religion. I don’t get it at all. I understand why people need it, but I think they’re wrong. They don’t. I do see that on a crude-ish level when someone dies; it’s nice and comforting to think that they’re going to heaven and that they’re going to be wrapped up warm for eternity. But they’re not. Heaven doesn’t exist.”
