Atheist Group Asks Kasich to Meet With Non-Theists After Calling Radcliffe 'Weird' for Being Atheist

An atheist organization has asked Ohio Governor John Kasich to meet with the atheist community after recently calling Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe "weird" for not believing in God.

Following a New Hampshire event in which Kasich officially endorsed Republican Chris Sununu, the former presidential hopeful went to a bookstore and noticed the latest Harry Potter book on the shelves.

"You know that Daniel Radcliffe has declared himself an atheist?" said Kasich, as reported by the Concord Monitor on Sunday.

"I'm serious. What a weird thing. Why would a guy who has had all that success just, I mean, what the hell is wrong with him?"
