He admired O'Hair, in a dark way
• Skeptics & Atheists
Ann Rowe Seaman of Los Angeles, who is writing a biography of America's most famous atheist, said she met with Waters four or five times in prison over the past two years and exchanged numerous letters with him.
"He was quite a philosophical guy. He wouldn't say he was an atheist, but he really didn't believe in God," she said, adding that Waters declined to give details of the O'Hair case but was unrepentant when he did.
