While he has not explicitly stated his religious views, his rational and secular approach to life suggests he is likely not religious, potentially leaning towards atheism or agnosticism.

Famous chess player Nigel Short, an atheist, believes religion is a construct of control through power and has no place in chess. Instead, he argues that seeking truth and reading classical literature are far better pursuits than attending church or believing in a deity.

“Religion has got, you know, it’s all to do with tradition and power structures. And that’s really power - that’s what it’s always been used for,” he said.

“The whole point about religion is: it is accepting. It is faith, so it’s not based on evidence. And that’s exactly the opposite of what you need for chess. You need an inquiring mind, and if you’re not ruthless in your inquiry, then you never make progress.

In the most critical moment of the entire Bible, the moment when Jesus dies on the cross, he shouts from the cross a phrase that can be puzzling to those of us reading the account so many centuries later: "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"


The phrase is found in both Matthew 27:46 and Mark 15:34. The English Standard Version of the Bible relates it like this: “And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, ‘Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?’
