Bill Gates Beliefs?

Gates said, “The moral systems of religion, I think, are super important. We've raised our kids in a religious way; they've gone to the Catholic Church that Melinda goes to and I participate in. I've been very lucky, and therefore I owe it to try and reduce the inequity in the world. And that's kind of a religious belief. I mean, it's at least a moral belief.”

“Do you believe in God?”

Gates said, “I agree with people like Richard Dawkins that mankind felt the need for creation myths. Before we really began to understand disease and the weather and things like that, we sought false explanations for them. Now science has filled in some of the realm – not all – that religion used to fill.”

“But the mystery and the beauty of the world is overwhelmingly amazing, and there's no scientific explanation of how it came about,” said Gates.  “To say that it was generated by random numbers that does seem, you know, sort of an uncharitable view [laughs].”

“I think it makes sense to believe in God,” said Gates, “but exactly what decision in your life you make differently because of it, I don't know.”

According to Late Mitchell Warren, Novelist at TheMagicalKingdom.com One can be an atheist and still not claim to know that there are no Gods. Being an atheist doesn’t mean that you are 100% sure, or can “prove anything”. It just means that you choose not to believe in God.

Agnosticism is a completely different system of thought pioneered by Thomas Huxley. Agnostics do not consider themselves atheists and usually go out of their way to say they are not atheists. Agnosticisms main creed seems to be that ultimately, the existence of God is not scientifically provable at this time and so unknowable. They don’t choose to disbelieve…they simply don’t know.

Gates hasn’t really said either way if he is atheist or agnostic. His latest statements (ironically as he attends a Catholic Church) suggest that he has always been a skeptic but finds the unknown factor fascinating.

Al Klein, Atheist from the moment of conception (I am curious to ask him; are you born an Atheist or do you develop it?), “the answer is "yes".  He doesn't hold any belief in any god, but he doesn't claim to know that there are no gods - that's an agnostic atheist (which constitutes 99.9% of atheism).

Believing in, say, the Golden Rule, which Christianity holds to be useful, isn't being religious, it's just agreeing with a principle that some religions also believe in.  I've never heard him state any particular religious principle (that would be one dealing solely with a religious belief) has any value.  (Thou shalt not steal, for instance, was part of the Code of Hammurabi, a civil law - it wasn't religious.  That Judaism co-opted it doesn't make it a religious principle.)”

According to Topa Lov, “Bill Gates is a catholic and this can be seen from the views he expressed in this quote:
"The moral systems of religion, I think, are super important. We've raised our kids in a religious way; they've gone to the Catholic Church that Melinda goes to and I participate in. I've been very lucky, and therefore I owe it to try and reduce the inequity in the world. And that's kind of a religious belief. I mean, it's at least a moral belief."

Also his wife was born and raised a catholic!

More answers are coming and will continually clarifies that, "THERE IS A GOD, SOMEWHERE IN HEAVENLY SPLENDOUR"
