Is Adam Savage Still an Atheist?

I love how, as you get older, Adam, you don't become any less animated when you talk about things. That's always been something I like about you.

I also consciously left the "Skeptics" movement because of toxicity.

I am a devout Christian and I would so much like to thank you for such a dignified and respectful response to this. You're a very smart individual and you have my unending respect! Thanks for sharing your perspective as I understand it's very personal and comes with a lot of challenge.

Humility, honesty, and vulnerability are rare these days. Thanks for sharing with us.

I remember you saying that if you had to be sworn in for something, you'd choose a McMaster-Carr catalogue as the book to swear on. I enjoyed that.

Love this video, Adam. My grandfather, who was an atheist in the "dark corner" of South Carolina, lived into his 90s. One day he realised that his congestive heart failure was kicking in, so he drove from the farm to the hospital. He knew he was dying as he lay in the hospital bed, with my grandmother sitting at the bedside. A hospital clergyman stopped by and asked my grandfather if he would like him to pray with him. My grandfather replied, "well, if it would make you feel better, you go right ahead". I miss him.

Thank you for being genuine and vulnerable during your human journey. I came from the "other" direction as a very zealous religious pastor. Now, I feel like I'm in a very similar state as you. Thank you.

I used to say I was atheist. My beliefs haven’t changed, but I don’t use that label anymore because of the negative stigmas associated with it. I just tell people I’m not religious.

3:38 if you held me over a chasm and demanded I tell you what I believed in, I'd probably say gravity

Man, Adam, how much I would love to sit down with you and have a drink and talk about so many things...we share so many artistic and personality traits. I love how you get so exited about what others would look at as mundane the most. Your love for creativity is infectious and perhaps someday, God willing, we can have that conversation, lol. Keep up the great work and stay curious...

it is precisely people like you, Adam, that made me feel it was ok to leave my religion about a decade ago, when I realized I no longer believed. You just being the admirable person you are reassured me that people were able to be kind, generous, and compassionate without needing a religious impetus for their behavior. At the time, I was concerned about who I’d become without a god, and I’m thankful to report I’ve become more considerate and understanding than I ever was before.

Sometimes you look back on something you liked as a kid, or learn more about someone you looked up to, just to be horrendously disappointed. I’m glad Adam Savage is neither of those.

Adam is a font of knowledge with intriguing perspective & is enjoyably articulate. He's also a delightful, nerdy goofball.

As a former member of a religion, I have found no greater wonder than discovering and experiencing the beautiful mystery of life when I was no longer told how to experience it. I was so afraid that not having a pre-constructed surety would be unbearable, but it wasn't until I was free of a, in my opinion, severely flawed framework was I able to truly find comfort and wonder. I embrace the questioning now and I feel that I'm so much better for it.

I just fell onto your channel while looking up Tapping explained. I see you have many subscribers and rightfully so, as you have a GREAT channel and your delivery is very good. I am now a subscriber and will tell others about your excellent content. Thank you for such great info and instruction.

“New Testament Agnostic” is genius - I’m totally stealing that. 😂

I worked 20yrs backstage in theatre and "audience as colony lifeform" is a fascinating and beautiful way to put that moment, and it's absolutely true.

I couldn't help but chuckle on how quickly you pivoted from metaphysics to shop talk. 😂 Love it

"New testament agnostic" Amen to that! You don't need to believe in the wooey to be a good person, just treat others as you would like to be treated! This video really resonated with what I've also come to believe, thank you for this Adam. We are all connected in more ways than we realize, peace be with you

I think that was a brilliant way to explain one's self on their own existence and comprehension of it. Great little video!
