    Did Darwin become an athiest as he developed his evolution theory?

    Question #32152. Asked by Charles.

    Kainantu

    Charles Darwin was an agnostic not an atheist.

    'What my own views may be is a question of no consequence to any one but myself. But, as you ask, I may state that my judgment often fluctuates...In my most extreme fluctuations I have never been an Atheist in the sense of denying the existence of a God. I think that generally (and more and more as I grow older), but not always, that an Agnostic would be the more correct description of my state of mind.'
    From a letter dated 1879 Addressed to Mr. J. Fordyce, and published by him in his 'Aspects of Scepticism,' 1883
