Atheism in Movies/TV
Inspired by the Oscars, The nominees for Best Atheist Movie are...Looking for suggestions of anything I may of missed. Please feel free to leave a comment if u have anything 2 add or move up or down. South Park prbly has 50 episodes having 2 do with religion, tried 2 ween down best I could, but they did alot of gr8 work. On the top of page 3 I felt I needed 2 add some movies having 2 do with AIDS, Homosexuality, abortion, & slavery. These wedge issues used 2 separate Us & also some come 2 atheism bc of the stance their childhood religion takes on these issues. I have included stand-ups by outspoken atheists Bill Maher, George Carlin, Ricky Gervais. Also, Science goes hand in hand with Atheism, so I did a sort of best of at the end of the list. *Note: I tried to post full movies/episode links but some of the Youtube links maybe copyrighted, & eventually taken down. If so, just search name on Google or Youtube.
