American comedian Kathy Griffin said upon accepting her Emmy:

"A lot of people come up here and they thank Jesus for this award. I want you to know that no one had less to do with this award than Jesus. He didn't help me a bit. So all I can say is, suck it Jesus. This award is my god now."

In a 1991 interview with Ladies' Home Journal, Kathryn Hepburn said:

"I'm an atheist, and that's it. I believe there is nothing we can know except that we should be kind to each other and do what we can for each other."

British actress Emma Thompson:

"I'm an atheist. I suppose you can call me a sort of libertarian anarchist. I regard religion with fear and suspicion. It's not enough to say that I don't believe in God. I actually regard the system as distressing: I am offended by some of the things said in the Bible and the Qur'an and I refute them."

And her acting is superb ! And she's wa-a-a-y smart too !! And gorgeous. What a combo.

She's such an badass! Look how many years ago she publicity came out. Kudos to her!!!

Famous Atheist: Bruce Lee

Silence of the lambs was/is the only scary thriller movie I have ever liked. I even bought it!

I showed this movie (Contact by Carl Sagan) ad nauseum to students in my science class because it was a perfect Sci-fi thriller...and with a woman staring (along with good acting by Matthew McConaughey, James Woods, Tom Skerritt, William Fichtner, John Hurt, Angela Bassett and David Morse) it was a perfect movie...Even the intro to the movie is a mind blower...you travel away from earth....and as you speed up, the background of famous TV...then radio....gets older and older...until you end up over 100 LY away...and then the radio messages are quite old...and historic....I’ll see if I can find the intro...

"Contact" is a good movie, but it's a great book. One of my favorites.

Let us start a Famous atheist gallery?

Well said. I had no idea she was a non-believer.

"The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane"...one of my favorite movies. Young teenage girl in jeopardy (the system and a pedifile played by Martin Sheen), takes care of the problem herself, does not need rescuing from a male.

I think she is super and have since she was a child actress....

Exactly! ❤

Loved that movie!!

Another famous Atheist is My Idol Bill Maher

Let’s start an Infamous Atheist gallery.
I nominate me. In my mid 40s I made myself infamous politically to landowners near Phoenix. I moved to SF and when my employed 30-ish kid brother said he might move there I replied, ”Change your last name. They know it there.”

Always liked her. Like her a little bit more now!!

Also...I love the way she handles a gun.

Yes indeed..

Theres a lot of famous celebrity atheists out there, FFRF has a calender of atheist celebrity birthdays in their calender in their freethought magazine, I always liked Jodie Fosters acting, I remember her as a child acting in the 1970's.

Religions are spread around the world originaly by force the winner or invader forced their religions onto their captured people.

people are brainwashed from birth into the dogma their parents have. I can not see why LBGT people so many are still beleiving in a system that condemns them. I never took to the brain washing. Once parent no longer took me to bed and forced the praying on me I stopped IT

A good actress and I respect her for her atheist beliefs but unfortunately she’s a gun control nut.

So?
