Jobs reportedly claimed that he left [[Christianity]] when he was thirteen and saw a Life magazine picture of starving children.<ref>http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/44979333#.TqN5x0cRqO8</ref>  That story, however, sounds implausibly similar to the reason given by [[Buddha]] for founding [[Buddhism]], a belief system that Jobs later found attractive.  Jobs was, in fact, similar to many California teenagers in the 1970s who did what they liked, while rejecting Christianity. But that all changed when he found out about his cancer.  "Ever since I've had cancer, I've been thinking about (God) more. And I find myself believing a bit more. Maybe it's because I want to believe in an afterlife. That when you die, it doesn't just all disappear."

Jobs donated a modest amount (relative to his wealth) of $150,000 in soft-money to causes related to the [[Democratic Party]],<ref>http://www.newsmeat.com/billionaire_political_donations/Steve_Jobs.php</ref> but it is likely that Jobs supported liberal causes simply to further his own businesses, rather than based on his personal views.<ref>http://www.wired.com/gadgets/mac/commentary/cultofmac/2006/01/70072</ref>  There are strong indications that Jobs became more [[conservative]] on issues like the [[public schools]] as he grew older.  When he met with [[Barack Obama]], Jobs was sharply critical of his policies.<ref>http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/20/steve-jobs-biography-obama_n_1022786.html</ref>
