REVEALED: Popular Celebrities Who Dont Believe In The Existence Of God (PHOTOS)

Believing in something is a thing of choice and you will be surprised to learn that super successful people dont even believe in the existence of God (especially as Nigerians that we are perhaps bunch of the most religious nation on the earth surface) 

The list is a well researched compilation of the atheist celebrities and why they dont believe in God 



1) SEUN KUTI

The statement inspired quite a heated debate on the page as Christianity, Islam and African Traditional religion were under fire from commenters who aired their opinions.

2. ANGELINA JOLIE

In an interview with the AV club, her answer to the question "Is there a God?" Was "hmmm... For some people. I hope so for them. For the people who believe in it, I hope so. There's something in people in people that's so spiritual, that's god-like. I don't feel like doing things just because people say things, but I also don't really know if its better to not just believe in anything either"

3. JODIE FOSTER

In an interview with entertainment Weekly, she revealed: "I'm an atheist but I absolutely love religions and rituals. Even though I don't believe in God. We celebrate pretty much every religion in our family with the kids. They love it and when they say "are we Jewish?" Or " are we catholic?" I say " well I'm not but you can choose when you're 18"
4. TAI SOLARIN

Tai Solarin was also a well known humanist and atheist who opposed the ownership of the schools by churches. Tai Solarin once said that "black(people) hold onto their God just as the drunken man holds on to the street lamp post—for physical support only."  Uncle Tai, as he was popularly known, derived immense pleasure in selflessly and fearlessly advocating for a better Nigeria, an action borne out of genuine, unfettered, earnest and heartfelt feeling about the state and future of the nation and the future generation. He was dissatisfied with the mindboggling erosion of values, the misrule and total collapse of all facets of life and sectors in the country and expressed shock at the unfathomable silence and culpability of the leadership and people. 


5. BRAD PITT

Brad who was raised southern baptist in an interview with the New York Daily news said " I'm probably 20 percent atheist and 80 percent agnostic. I don't think anyone really knows. You'll find out or not when you get there, until then there's no point thinking about it"
6. George Clooney

Larry King asked Clooney if he believes in God. He dodged it at first but King pressed and he said he doesn’t happen to be a believer. That’s OK George. I don’t need a church wedding. I’ll settle for a quick ‘I do’ before a judge. We can choose a judge who also does not believe in God. How about that? Are we on?

7. Bruce Lee

Alex Block: Do you believe in God?
 Bruce Lee: To be perfectly frank, I really do not.

Bruce Lee Vs. Chuck Norris! I know it’s unrelated but come on. That would be coolest thing in the world.


8. Mark Zuckerberg – Founder of Facebook

Zuckerberg also got into the headlines for telling one of his friends years ago that he will sell the database of Facebook and that people who are signing up on Facebook are all fools. He said he doesn’t understand, nor does he care, why people are trusting him with their personal data. Oh, I bet none of you are not going to the delete their Facebook accounts. Hypocrites!

9. Lance Armstrong

Lance Armstrong: If God exists, I’d still have both my testicles now. (Time Magazine) Well come to think of it… you still have two legs, two arms, pretty good abs, more money than I could ever hope to spend in five lifetimes, and beautiful children. BUT, hard to get into testicles argument. I’ll leave you to it.

10. Larry King

11. MORGAN FREEMAN

Well in an interview with The Grio he said "my belief system doesn't support a creator as such, as we can call God, who created us in his/her/its image" he continued "Has anybody ever seen hard evidence?" , "We invented God"
12. HUGH HEFNER

13. SETH MACFARLANE

The creator of "Family Guy" in an interview with Esquire when asked why he was so vocal about his atheism replied "we have to.. Because of all the mysticism and stuff that's gotten so popular, its like the civil rights movement. There have to be people who are vocal about the advancement of knowledge over faith"

14. DANIEL RADCLIFFE
