Changes

Darwin's upbringing was a mix of Unitarian and Anglican Christianity.  Throughout his life, he steadily began to drift away from Christianity and in particular trusting the accounts of the Old Testament, a process which began as early as his journey on the Beagle.  Late in life he described himself as an agnostic, but always rejected the idea that he did not believe in God, accepting instead that there must have been some Prime Mover.  He also remained actively involved in his local parish and never officially left his church.  His wife, Emma, was throughout her life a faithful Unitarian.
