TL;DW An interesting talk about a Christian missionary who tried to convert an Amazonian tribe to Christianity but instead ended up becoming an atheist, essentially because the cultural and linguistic differences of the tribe were such that they required evidence for any new information given to them, meaning they didn't buy into the concept of Christianity. This made him to rethink his former beliefs and eventually he became an atheist and an anthropologist.
Good quote from the video:
