Former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Volta River Authority (VRA), Dr Charles Wereko-Brobby, popularly known as Tarzan, has revealed that though he was brought up as a Christian of the Catholic faith, he is no more 'religious' in the Christian sense of the word.

According to him, he left the faith because he was and "is still not comfortable with that very rigid thing that faiths have like Christians saying there's only one way to God" and is more open to other ways of reaching God.

Speaking to Starr FM's Starr Chat on Wednesday, Dr Wereko-Brobby who also served who the CEO of the Ghana @ 50 Secretariat disclosed that he "used to be an altar boy once for 10 years but that was only because as a Roman Catholic, the only way you could get to the wine was to be an altar".

He explained that:

"You can serve God in many ways. We were hoodwinked into believing that 'Nyankopon' was some alien being. In fact, as a Catholic, you were made to believe there was only one Christian path to God. If you were not a Catholic you were not considered. My point of departure was when I asked the priest 'so what happens to my grandmother who didn't know any Christianity before the white man came. Do they also go to hell? and he said yes. I said I don't think I want to be part of this".

"I am comfortable with people having faith but I do not want to subscribe to any faith because at the end of the day it's all about the triumph of good over evil", he told host Bola Ray.
