"I regret anything I said about religion that was negative"

Ted Turner made a few disparaging comments about Christians a long time ago and that he is "always developing" his thinking as he gets older.
Ted started in 1997 with a $1 billion donation, launched the malaria project with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod and the United Methodist Church.
