Matt Groening- Atheist
Seth MacFarlane- Atheist
Trey Parker and Matt Stone- Both Atheists
Mike Judge- Unknown at the time.

What's with 4 of my 5 heroes in comedy and television being atheists? Is it a requirement to not believe in creation of a world and in return perform a career where you do create a world yourself. I just don't know what it is with these animated show creators and atheism.

Not believing in fairytales is becoming overrated? I sure hope not! Ir's sad that a lot of people don't fully know what atheism means. Plus it's really just a label. I don't believe in Santa Claus but I wouldn't give my self a label like anticlausist. Society still has a long, long way to go.

Somewhat troll, somewhat serious. It's just all my favorite animators are atheists so that's either a coincidence or there is something else to it.
