It don't matter if he is religious or not he knows right from wrong and he put his life on the line for right , and asked for nothing in return. His heart is good! He brings light and hope to the world.

Andrea you are very privileged to have had the opportunity of conducting this interview. You ask important pertinent questions in a sensitive way and Sir Nicholas is such a remarkeable individual who did so much good against all odds but kept quiet about it for nearly 50 years and would have taken it to the grave. He celebrated his 105th Birthday recently and has a higher message of virtues and ethics. I met him once very briefly.about 6 years ago. His efforts have finally been recognised and he's certainly more deserving of the Nobel price than many of the recent recipients

You can be a nice person without religion guys. This man is a hero!

[@ullarandt817]

Yes, a wonderful person: God bless the Winton-family

[@bleuscorpio]

Thank you so much for this wonderful interview!

[@VeNuS2910]

Imagining how it must have felt to be separated from your own parents at a young age and at a time like that and the parents watching their child taken away from them is so heartbreaking.... we could only pray this wont happen again. God bless Sir Nicholas Winton. He may not be a believer, but his actions are good enough for God to forgive and love him. After all, doing God's work is also believing in him, in a different form. :-)

Intriguing.

[@caramelqueen89]

Also, I never knew about Sir Winton's rescuing of those children during WW2 until today July 8, 2014. That's why I love history ! :D

God bless you family

“The *love of money* is a root of all sorts of injurious things.”-1 Timothy 6:10a. He may have been agnostic, but, He certainly did not disagree with this Bible truth.

[@BlytheErin]

Sir Nicholas is amazing, why are you dogging on him for not being religious? He saved the lives of hundreds of children talk about that.

[@egerpatt]

I don't think she was dogging on him... Andrea, like others, is trying to find out about the motivation that would drive a man like Sir Winton to save hundreds of children... she asked a question that many of us asked. I am from the same culture the journalist is and in our countries there is no stigma to someone not believing in God or believing in God.

Thank youz british Oscar Schindler

[@HamelinSong]

And you call yourself a journalist???? "do you believe in god?" SERIOUSLY?? this man could die tomorrow, and he had a great past, and you ask him if he believes in god???? The fact that he said no, makes me happy tho. I can appreciate atheist people a lot more, cause they do things for the right reason, not for a immaginary man.

[@Pithead]

Yeah, man.

[@GetToDaChoppa-k5r]

I agree in some of what you say. Yes you don't need religion to be a morally sound human being, but some people need it in their lives. Plus you don't know if what people are praying to is imaginary. Faith is beyond scientific reasoning or explanation. I am agnostic by the way. I don't go either way. I think everyone is unsure, but they want to pick a side in order to feel part of something. Anyway Nicholas Winton was religious to begin with, but gave it up. Doesn't change that he is still a brilliant human being.

[@toploader6989]

I love this man. He is so inspiring, but that interviewer was terrible. What kind of a question is it to ask if he is ashamed of his country? Out of all the countries Sir Nicholas tried to get the children into, only the UK said yes. There were conditions, but nevertheless, the UK was the only country to accept the children. So why is the interviewer asking this treasure of a man such insulting questions? Go ask America if they are ashamed of turning away the chance to save hundreds, possibly thousands of young lives before the war broke out. Go ask other allied countries if they were ashamed to say no. But do not ask this hero if he is ashamed of his country., of course he isn't. If anyone should feel ashamed, it is the journalist, for asking such a disparaging question.

[@ullarandt817]

What a wonderful person God bless the Winton-family

[@caramelqueen89]

It's so sad he does not believe in GOD but that's a choice (volition) that GOD himself will NEVER encroach on mankind...very sad . However, the interview was very enlightening :)

[@harris1234100]

Sandria his heart is good! That's what counts!

[@Croecho]

It really isn't sad at all. Someone on this earth, was moral and good enough to save nearly seven hundred children that could go on to believe whatever they wanted to believe, and thus saving generations (each child growing to have their own children you would have their own children). If nothing else, this proves that morality and religion aren't dependent on one another. You can be a genuinely good person without god. I mean let me put it this way: You believe in god. How many generations of lives have you saved? I'm not trying to be mean - but here's another question: How many World Wars have you survived? Very few people who experienced the devastation of the Great Wars clung to their illusions of faith. They were face to face with the absolute horror of mankind - a horror you can't imagine. They saw it through smoking ruins and piles of carcasses. They heard it from foxholes, as shells went off around them, and screams called out to them for mercy. They smelled it in the death and decay around them. They tasted it in the fire and blood on the air. They felt it as they looked into the eyes of their enemies - and the eyes of the subjugated. Few walked away alive. Fewer walked away unmaimed. None walked away without scars. How do you rationalize a God that allows that sort of horror? I'm sure you've experienced death - maybe a friend, family - maybe even a stranger - but was it senseless? Can it compare to genocide? Can it compare to killing the enemy - murdering them - so that they can't kill you and everyone you love - because God won't stop the evil of the war...only you and the other fighting men can. When you stare into the abyss - the abyss stares back at you. How many can truly say they would remain stalwart under its eye? How many would blink in spite of faith? I'll end with this. I'd rather be a good man, without god. Then a godly man who wasn't good. And there are far too many of those.

[@harris1234100]

Croecho I agree 100%! I know some people not all people that go to church religiously and would screw you in a minute,lie to you, cheat you. I think to myself what are they doing in church sleeping. Everybody has good and bad in them! Some choose to do good and some choose to be bad.

[@MissusTudor]

Do you think he should have left it to "God" to save the lives of the 600 plus kids he rescued? It's damn lucky he didn't, if you ask me. Don't you dare look down on this man just because he's an Atheist.

[@harris1234100]

Missus Tudor Well said Missus! There's Good and Evil! Thank Goodness not God.
