Haq liked to talk about politics (he was a Democrat and a John Kerry supporter), about trying to find work, sometimes about religion. Haq was raised a Muslim and his father, Mian Haq, works as an engineer for a company that does work at the Hanford nuclear reservation. The elder Haq—who recently built a fancy home outside the Tri-Cities (Naveed Haq took Renner to see it when it was under construction), also helped start the Islamic Center in Richland. But Naveed Haq had fallen away from the faith. Last year, Renner says, Haq told him he had converted to Christianity, but “I don’t think he considered himself anything, lately.” Haq didn’t respect his parents’ religion and would defiantly tell them over the phone that he was not fasting during Ramadan.
“He told me I should convert to Christianity,” Renner smiled. “He said church would be a good place to meet girls.”

[Haq saw] United 93, the movie about the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania on 9/11. “The movie mesmerized him,” Renner said. “[After the movie], he was just running red lights, not paying attention.”
It also goes on to talk about guns, manic depression, unemployment…
