His religious views have been the subject of considerable conjecture, although it is unclear exactly what they were. According to several stories, he was a Buddhist, while other reports claim he was a Muslim.
But his religion has never been formally confirmed, and it’s unclear whether he adhered to any one religion. He reportedly had a YouTube playlist with many films pertaining to rationality and atheism, which has led to some people theorizing that he may not be a believer, according to Quartz.
Shah also has a YouTube subscription to the Richard Dawkins Foundation for Science and Reason. When Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 vanished on March 8, 2014, Zaharie Ahmad Shah, a Malaysian airline pilot, was in command.
Shah had a long and prosperous career in aviation before the catastrophe. Throughout his career, Zaharie had accrued more than 18,000 hours of flying experience. He has experience flying a number of different aircraft, such as the Airbus A330, Boeing 737, 747, and 777.
