An Archbishop of Canterbury has confessed that he has doubts about existence of God.

In a recent interview, Archbishop Justin Welby said that had questioned why God had failed to intervene to prevent injustice, the Independent reported.

Welby later accepted his views as the leader of the Church of England were "probably not what the Archbishop of Canterbury should say."

Whilst talking about faith, Welby added that it was not about feelings, it was about the fact that God was faithful and the extraordinary thing about being a Christian was that God was faithful when they were not.
