Wild Card with Rachel Martin · Melinda French Gates · 5 Feb 2026 podcast

I loved it.

She's also been on the show.

oh she's fantastic i met her only because of my first book we became fast friends when i went and toured about my first book she's wonderful you know all the best people so

Yes, definitely.

You know, I grew up in the Catholic church, went to K through 12 to Catholic school.

And in grade school, we went to church Monday, Wednesday, Friday before we went to class.

And then, of course, you went on Sunday.

Of course.

Family on Sundays.

And I'm saying that because when you're a little kid and you have that much time in church, you have a lot of time to think.

And some of it – but also some of what was being said at the pulpit just didn't make sense to me as a little kid.

I just – it was like they said that, but then I see them act that way.

Like, you know, some of the priests were actually really mean to the kids.

And so –

Anyway, long story short, just in the arc of my life, I've come to feel more that God is – definitely there's no one God.

My gosh.

And even when I was a kid, I was like, okay, but people who are Indians believe in these native spirits, but we have a God and only our God is the right one?

How can that be?

Or I knew other kids who were Jewish who thought different beliefs, and I'm like –

So they're wrong?
