Mr. Belin. Is there anything else about that aspect of the interrogation?
Mr. Holmes. I believe not.
Mr. Belin. Do you remember Inspector Kelley asking Oswald about his religious views?
Mr. Holmes. Yes. Someone, and I don't recall who, asked the first question on that, but you got that Lenin business in there.
Mr. Belin. I am deliberately asking you these questions before we get to your memorandum, and I am just trying to get your memory first.
Mr. Holmes. All right. Someone asked him about what his beliefs were, and he said, "Well," about him being a Communist something. Someone referred to his communism, and he said, "I am not a Communist. I am a Marxist." And they said, what is the difference between Communist and Marxist, and he said, "Well, a Communist is a Lenin Marxist, and I am a true Karl Marxist."
So, this Secret Service inspector asked, "What religion are you?" In other words, I mean, "What faith are you, as far as religion?" And he said, "I have no faith." And then he said, "I suppose you mean the Bible."
"Yes, that is right."
"Well," he said, "I have read the Bible. It is fair reading, but not very interesting. But, as a matter of fact, I am a student of philosophy and I don't consider the Bible as even a reasonable or intelligent philosophy. I don't think much of it," he said.
Mr. Belin. Did anyone there ask him if Cuba would be better off since the President was assassinated? Do you remember anything about that?
