Do you know any movie stars or tv stars that are athiest?

Question

I'm a Christian but I was wondering how many famous people on tv believe in God?

I'll rephrase the question. Who are the non believers?

Answer 1

Complete edit:

After Booth (user below) stated there were errors in the list I posted, I did more research. I have found quotes for all of these people, indicating they are either atheist, agnostic or some form of non-believer. Some are stronger atheists than others, but all have made statements in verifiable interviews or print indicating a disbelief in god. I've tried to keep out those who are just anti-religion.

Answer 3

Movie star

Answer 4

You changed your question. Famous people that are atheists? Angelina Jolie comes to mind. Keith Richards, I've heard. Probably more.

The rest are probably religious in some sense - but not a lot of them are Christian. Scientology, Kabbalah, and Buddism are popular in Hollywood.

Answer 5

www.nndb.com has all sorts of information on famous people including religious beliefs. Just put in an actor or actress and it will tell you lots of good info.

Answer 6

Does it really matter? Would you stop watching an actor or rooting for an athlete if you knew they were?

How about just appreciating someone's talent, and not worrying about their religion?

Answer 7

Unfortunately very few seem to bear Christian fruit.

Answer 8

Um. Does it really matter as long as they continue to entertain us?

Well . . . I'm pretty sure most of them call themselves Christian, whether they actually are or not is their business not ours.

Answer 9

It is not a question of athieism or not. By their actions, they prove themselves as not followers of Jesus and his Father.

Answer 10

There are no people anywhere, nor have there ever been people anywhere who are "athiest."
