in an interview in "the times" on 27 june 2007, edwards said: "if there is no god, does that mean that life has no purpose? does it mean that personal existence ends at death? they are thoughts that do my head in. one thing that i can say, however, is that even if i am unable to discover some fundamental purpose to life, this will not give me a reason to return to christianity. just because something is unpalatable does not mean that it is not true." furthermore, in the interview with "the times" he also stated "when you think about it rationally, it does seem incredibly improbable that there is a god." in the same interview he also said "i feel internally happier than at any time of my life." edwards confirmed his rejection of christianity in an interview on bbc five live sportsweek on 29 july 2007.
