"Being an atheist must be like living in a closed cell with no windows." This is what Sir Anthony Hopkins says today.

He used to be well-known atheist and alcoholic for a long time. However, "in 1975 he went to an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting where a lady asked him: “Why don’t you just trust in God?”


That question intrigued him so much that he started a personal soul search and he began a soul-search. “He was saying that from the point, his insatiable desire for alcohol vanished. He has been on a spiritual quest since while acting and winning Academy Awards throughout his career.” In 2011, he said that he couldn’t be an atheist any longer.

“But I couldn’t live with that certainty, and I wonder about some of them: why are they protesting so much? How are they so sure of what is out there?
