London, Feb 11 : Despite being raised in a Christian/Jewish household, Daniel Radcliffe describes himself as a ‘militant atheist’.

The ‘Harry Potter’ star believes in separating religion and education because he thinks sex lessons at school are very important.

“I’m not religious, I’m an atheist, and a militant atheist when religion starts impacting on legislation,” Contactmusic quoted him as telling Attitude magazine.

“We need sex education in schools. Schools have to talk to kids from a young age about relationships, gay and straight. In Britain it’s better - more of a conversation is being had,” he said. (ANI)
