The founder of Facebook has found religion, it seems, according to a cheery holiday message he posted on the social network he created.
On Christmas Day, Zuckerberg indicated in a Facebook status that he was “celebrating Christmas.”

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah from Priscilla, Max, Beast and me,” he wrote, naming his wife, daughter and dog. Then a commenter asked him: Aren’t you an atheist?
Zuckerberg identified himself as an atheist for years, but on Facebook on Christmas he wrote back: “No. I was raised Jewish and then I went through a period where I questioned things, but now I believe religion is very important.”

I didn’t know this about MZ. I wonder what religion he is?

I'm an atheist, who also thinks religion is very important. It's had a huge effect on society, both positive and negative. You can think religion is very important without believing in it. And nothing in Z's post says that he believes in it.

He’s planning to run for political office in the future. That’s all this is.

When DH had children, we went back to raise them in a Congregation. We chose a UU Congregation. I doubt (hope), Zuckerburg chooses that option.

My kids are grown, but I am still a UU. I do not believe in an all powerful Supernatural being, but I do believe in the interconnection of living organisms.

UU is a good place for non believers. Also Washington ethical Center.

+1,000. The fact that so many people are falling for this is crazy. It’s just another predictable part of the grift.

The religious folks who "leave it in god's hands" amaze me with their ability to let sh1t go. I ofter think I'd be much happier if I believed all the things they told me in Sunday school.

Try to stick to the topic instead of your predictable, boring fallback of trashing all religion. Thanks!

Me too. I also celebrate Christmas - and Easter.

I’m Christian and I thing religion is more often used for evil than good.

The evil is loud, the good is quiet.

The good is pretty loud too. Religions are always talking about the good they do.

How would you know? You don’t.

Um, since when are Jill and Joe right wingers?

Why is what Mark Zuggenberg thinks or believes an issue?
Is he a god or a prophet?

It's still wise politically to be religious, or at least to espouse a religion. Hopefully, that will change soon.

I’m not OP, but I’m guessing she’s trying to counter the endless “here’s another poll about the decline of religion,” as if those ever convinced believers to leave their faiths. Zuckerberg happens to be in the news so she can link to it here, as opposed to your uncle Charlie who found faith in his 60s, is also my guess.
