May I say "Who Cares?"

Though many people have suspected that Daniel Radcliffe is an atheist for some time now, he confirmed it in an interview with Esquire according to a report published on the Telegraph Web site. The Harry Potter star said:

I'm an atheist, but I'm very relaxed about it. I don't preach my atheism, but I have a huge amount of respect for people like Richard Dawkins who do. Anything he does on television, I will watch.

He went on to say, jokingly:

There we go, Dan, that's half of America that's not going to see the next Harry Potter film on the back of that comment.

I'm a Christian. I'm a deacon in my church. I even studied for the ministry, and my wife was the pastor of a church early in our marriage. And I'm going to go see the next Harry Potter movie when it comes out, Daniel Radcliffe's faith in nothing notwithstanding. I enjoy the books, enjoy the movies, and don't consider the religious beliefs of a mere actor to be a sufficient basis to boycott the film.

After all, if I boycotted every product that included a contribution by an individual of heterodox religious views I'd be sitting naked in the middle of an empty field with no possessions to my name.
