Some people may be surprised to know that Charles Darwin had a plan as a child to become an Anglican clergyman , but eventually over the course of his life lost his faith. He is categorized as an agnostic atheist since he did not adhere to the normal atheist thinking but rather "crafted a theory in his own image" of religion. Throughout Darwin's life he met with many prominent people with various thoughts about the natural world and how it related to religion. According to Darwin: The Life of a Tormented Evolutionist "he saw no spiritual power behind nature's throne" showing his views on evolution and religion were quite clear and these views were not like anything that had been around at the time.
