Atheist characters in big and small screen roles?

[Gawdzilla Sama]

Anything they missed here?

[maiforpeace]

Yes. Off the top of my head there's Edward, played by Jack Nicholson in "The Bucket List" 2007.

Feel free to submit it to Wiki if you like.

I've been watching reruns of Scrubs lately now that they're streamable on Netflix, so I'm glad they got Dr. Cox in there - I just watched this episode the other night and thought of it immediately when I saw the thread title:



Best TV Doctor ever.

[Gawdzilla Sama]

He was such an ASS in "Platoon" that I can never see him without gritting my teeth. Same way with Neidermeyer in "Animal House". (He was the father in the Twisted Sister video of "We're not going to take it.")

Klinger in MASH was a self declared atheist, Pierce may also have been. Certainly the main writer of the movie and the series was a well known and black listed atheist.

[Azathoth]

He's already on the list. Zilla is looking for one's that are not on the list yet.

Mark Bellison, played by Ricky Gervais in The Invention of Lying.

Robert Neville played by Will Smith in I Am Legend.

Ray played by Dan Aykroyd in Ghostbusters.

Dean Keaton played by Gabriel Byrne in The Usual Suspects.

So I'm watching Escape from L.A., and when the cop character is prepping Kurt Russell as to what to expect when he gets to L.A., and what type of criminals are incarcerated there, he mentions atheists as one of the types.

That's funny: The series, which I've read quite extensively in books of the general title "MASH in..." was heavily Republican - biased. Well, that was before Reagan and Bush jr. (perhaps Bush sr. as well).

That's funny

the film was pitched and written by a known commie, as was much of the series


but yes, pierce was a small town republican

I think Mr./Mrs. Garrison on South Park was converted to atheism by Richard Dawkins, right before Dawkins banged her/him.

[Coito ergo sum]

Sarah Silverman (on the Sarah Silverman Program).

[SPMaximus]

Richard Dawkins as Richard Dawkins in South Park

And Chevaux (the cajun who found oil in his backyard and eventually became an oil tycoon) was a member of the Knights of Columbus, and Boris Alexandrovich Korsky-Rimsakoff a member of the John Birch Society. Democratic politicians and sympathisers are usually travestied in ways that verge on the sue-able.
