The actor said people believe in the story of Adam and Eve because "they're stupid enough."
Brian Cox has some strong feelings about organized religion.
While appearing on Sunday’s episode of “The Starting Line” podcast, the “Succession” star criticized the Bible and belief in God, saying it “hold[s] us back.”
“If God says this and God does that, and you go, ‘Well, what is God?’ We’ve created that idea of God, and we’ve created it as a control issue,” Cox told host Rich Leigh.
Cox condemned the Bible as “essentially patriarchal” and “propaganda” before declaring, “the Bible is one of the worst books ever, for me, for my point of view,” because it begins with the story of Adam and Eve, in which Eve is descended from Adam’s rib.
“And [people] believe it, because they’re stupid enough,” Cox said.
