==Afterwards and religious beliefs==
Vonnegut described himself as an [[agnosticism|agnostic]]/[[atheism|atheist]]/[[secular humanist]] and in 1992 won the "Humanist of the Year" award (He referred to himself as a "Christ -loving agnostic" and then later as a "Christ -loving atheist" at an event).<ref>Wakefield, Dan (July 11, 2015 or bef.).

He attributed the affirmation of his agnosticism/atheism to having studied anthropology. Vonnegut's father's family were what he called "Free Thinkers", but Vonnegut said his father didn't tell him of their beliefs, his father claiming he and Vonnegut's mother to have been harshly attacked for their German heritage during World War I, until Vonnegut asked out of curiosity. In 1981, he wrote "How proud I became of our belief, how pigheadedly proud, even, is the most evident thing in my writing, I think."<ref>''Palm Sunday'', p. 195.</ref>
