14 Stars Who Are Atheists and Open About It

Celebrities are known to voice their opinions about political and religious issues and fans have the right to agree or disagree with their stances. Just because celebrities endorse certain things doesn’t necessarily mean their opinions are valid or invalid. Here are 14 stars who are atheists and open about it. They aren’t necessarily shoving their beliefs (or lack thereof) down anyone’s throats, just acknowledging that religion is a choice and everyone has a right to their own personal views.

1. Angelina Jolie

The Academy award winning actress admits that she is a more spiritual person than a religious one. She was quoted saying, “Is there a God? Hmm… For some people. I hope so, for them. For the people who believe in it, I hope so. There doesn’t need to be a God for me. There’s something in people that’s spiritual, that’s godlike. I don’t feel like doing things just because people say things, but I also don’t really know if it’s better to just not believe in anything, either.”
