Hello.
Warren Buffett was raised as a Presbyterian, but is now usually
described as an agnostic.

Warren Buffett was raised as a Presbyterian, but is now usually
described as an agnostic. Here are a couple newspaper references that
I obtained from a database available through my local library:
"Dundee Presbyterian Church... The rolls included the young Warren
Buffett, who was baptized and confirmed at Dundee in 1941."
source:
Omaha World - Herald; Omaha, Neb.; May 12, 2001; "Centennial
Celebration Dundee Presbyterian Church looks back on 100 years of
growth"; page 65
"Where his father, a devout Presbyterian, served in Congress as a
far-right Republican, Buffett is an agnostic rationalist who gave up
belief in God at an early age..."
source:
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel; Milwaukee, Wis.; Sep 18, 1995; "Financial
genius is a study in contrasts"; page 23
Also see the book "Buffett The Making an American Capitalist," which
mentions the young Warren Buffett attending Sunday School as a
Presbyterian, but also states that Buffett "did not subscribe to his
family's religion." From Page 13, scanned by Amazon.com:

By the way, to say that Buffett is an "agnostic" means that he "is a
person who feels that God's existence can neither be proved nor
disproved, on the basis of current evidence."
