→Gate Foundation, PATH, and the death of children from drug testing
===Gate Foundation, PATH, and the death of children from drug testing===
===Gate Foundation, PATH, and the death of children from drug testing===
===Famil and private life===
Bill Gates and Melinda French Gates have three children, Jennifer Katharine, Rory John and Phoebe Adele. Gates likes to read and plays golf and bridge.
While Bill Gates formerly described himself as an agnostic,<ref>[http://www.nndb.com/people/435/000022369/ Bill Gates bio]</ref> he recently became a [[Catholic]]<ref>http://www.rollingstone.com/culture/news/bill-gates-the-rolling-stone-interview-20140313?print=true</ref> and his wife Melinda Gates is also a churchgoing [[Catholic]] considered to be responsible for reducing donations of the Gates wealth directly to fund [[abortion]]. Nevertheless, the [[Gates Foundation]], a charitable foundation established by Bill and Melinda Gates which is especially known for work on HIV/AIDS in Africa, provides substantial grants to organizations that promote abortion, such as the [[Planned Parenthood]] of Western Washington (recipient of a $200,000 grant from the Gates Foundation in January 3, 2007 for a youth development program). Moreover, a smaller percentage of grants by the Gates Foundation supports faith-based programs than even the federal government does.
Gates' last official day of work at Microsoft was June 27, 2008. He remains chairman of the Microsoft board of directors and its largest shareholder.<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=080622023728.dfhtivcb&show_article=1</ref>
Although frequently supporting liberal causes, he has his limits, as he condemned the concept of wind and solar energy as being unreliable.<ref>"[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xe3BWPsBTU Bill Gates Slams Unreliable Wind and Solar Energy]."</ref>
