Skarsgård was brought up by humanist , atheist parents , and had an atheist grandfather and a deeply religious grandmother . According to Skarsgård , this never led to any problems because of the family 's mutual respect for each other 's opinions . After the September 11 attacks , Skarsgård set out to read the Bible and the Quran , both of which he condemns as violent . Skarsgård is also a critic of religious independent schools in the Swedish educational system . He has said he considers the notion of God absurd and that if a real God were actually so vain as to constantly demand worship , then he would not be worthy of it
