No, I’m not an Atheist and I believe Religion is very Important – Mark Zuckerberg
If you follow Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg on the social networking platform, you’d have noticed that he replies to comments made on any of his posts himself.
Yesterday was no different. After he posted his Christmas message to his followers, some of them began to ask questions bordering on faith and family.
Zuckerberg had posted:
Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah from Priscilla, Max, Beast and me!
Seeing the moments of joy and family shared on Facebook today is one of my favorite things about our community.
I hope you’re surrounded by friends and loved ones, and that you have a chance to reflect on all the meaningful things in your life.
May the light of your friendships continue to brighten your life and our entire world.
On whether he is an atheist, Zuckerberg replied: “No. I was raised Jewish and then I went through a period where I questioned things, but now I believe religion is very important.”
