Denzel Washington on atheists and sociopaths
See also: Atheism and sociopathy and Atheism and racism
Denzel Washington discussing his movie "Safe House" stated concerning atheists and sociopaths:
| “ | There's a book I read called 'The Sociopath Next Door.' And -- I read something from it every day before I would go on the set. It really became my guide. When you think of a sociopath...you think of someone violent. The overwhelming majority of sociopaths aren't violent. They just have a desire to win. They just don't have a conscience -- they don't have it. The majority of them are atheists as well. So that was the book that was sort of my Bible if you will...in preparation for this part."[4] | ” |
