In an interview on the Actor’s Studio, Ricky Gervais, an atheist, explains his faith, or lack of it.

Gervais likes the idea of God. He went to Sunday School. He loved Jesus. But thanks in part to a conversation between his older brother and his mom, he is an atheist. He admits, “I wish there was a God, it’d be great. From what I’ve heard he’s brilliant.” He continues later, “If there is a God, why did he make me atheist?”

He’s not acting aggressive or rude. He’s not calling Christians stupid. I believe Gervais is being very candid and honest in his statements.

How do you respond to that question, “If there is a God, why did he make me atheist?”
