Screenwriter Javid Kurbanov guest starred on Baku TV's "Qapqara" show, expressing his disbelief in religions.

He claimed believers don't truly trust the afterlife: "When a loved one dies, they cry. If they truly believed, they would rejoice at their reunion with God."

Kurbanov added, "Fame and wealth don't bring inner peace. Success is temporary; money doesn't change a person."
