Thank you! I appreciate the subtitles so much! And I must say that I thoroughly admire this man... perhaps because I share his view 100%... in fact, he is one of the few people that I have heard that really feels as I do about the subject of religion. I too believe there is a Creator, but totally something we are not able to comprehend... that just rubs most religious people the wrong way. And I cannot for the life of me see why. Bravo, Mr. Skarsgard... and thanks for Alex btw! LOL

@MsAKSfan

I totally agree. Many famous people are afraid to voice their opinions on religion, but he just speaks his mind. I admire this man so much!

[MsAKSfan]

Yes, I think in the public eye it takes a brave soul to admit what he admits... I like him... :)

[MsAKSfan]

Yes, I still admire this man very much.... LOL in fact, I wish someone would put such a man in my path..... I would give him big kisses on both cheeks for sharing my belief system so closely! No wonder Alex is so special growing up with such a commonsense father! *merry grinning and throwing air kisses in the general direction of both Stellan AND Alex!* Beautiful men!

What he is saying isn't all that controversial, most people in Scandinavia don't believe in silly things like religion.

I've never admired the man so much. Also, at 0:55, why does she look so confused?

[FineCaroline]

I adore Stellan since many years back and after seeing this i adore him even more..he is a smart man and i agree with him (my opinion) thanks for sharing this video :)

[MsAKSfan]

I just keep watching this and more and more realize how very much I do agree with him. I did religious comparative study early in my life. Religion is a construct of man, not a God. And the fear is used very wisely by all religions. No, I don't need anyone to tell me what is God. I have my own perfectly good mind and heart to help me figure it out for myself. And I have... Stellan for Pres., oh, wait, he's not Amer.! LOL Damn it...
