answer:Most atheists don’t speak out badly about belief in God and religion. So, do you mean celebrities who simply are willing to state they are atheists. Or, those who kind of put down those who are religious or make a point to say they don’t thank God when they win an award, etc. Or, liberal celebrities who criticize the religious right in their political goals? What exactly do you have in mind? I think it’s great atheists are more “out” now. I hope if religion is going to be talked about that the atheists speak up. If religion was a very private matter in America, and left to only affecting our own lives and beliefs, then religion or lack of would be a non issue.
