Ch. Darwin wasn't exactly an atheist and he was not a believer either. He merely stated his conclusions after studying species across the Globe.
About Angelina, she's a celebrity that simply "hides" behind words. I don't know if she ever stated that she's an atheist, but she never said that she believes in a God. besides, everyone changes his opinions throughout his life. One could quote what I said years ago and conclude I'm not an atheist...
Dear creator of this video: Please post quotes in their entirety and also the latest quotes of the people you reference. Otherwise, you are just committing the act of quote mining. Thank You
@ivlfounder Charles Darwin is the one who started the theory of evolution, you probably just made up that quote or got it from some 12 year old christians blog or some shit.
@ivlfounder Your the one that needs to get educated and stop beleiving in fairy tales and at your age you should be old enough to not believe in imaginary friends.
I've began teaching my children that god and jesus and exactly the same as the tooth fairy, santa claus and the easter bunny. Fairy tales to scare and amuse children. To protect the marriage I've allowed the wife to continue to send our young sons to CCD classes. I tell the boys to listen and accept the teachings about morality, charity and kindness, but ignore all the supernatural bologna. Don't you wish you'd had a father like that? Honest and unafraid.
@ivlfounder No, no big ego.Just a happy realist. From a Baptist to Lutheran to Mormon to Born again Christian (who attended Catholic services) I was never comfortable with the far fetched stories from the bible. Mormonism was even harder due to the other books they throw at you. I love science and nature and I know evolution is a fact. Therefore, Adam and Eve and Noah's ark are complete man made myths. That proved to me the Bible was false.
Honest and unafraid? I wouldn't call you that. I would just say that you think you don't need God in your life, but that doesn't mean that maybe your son does not. You are denying your son the spiritual side of life just because you have no need for it. I would call that selfish.
Who the hell ever thought that these people were atheistic? Most of the people in this list are widely known worldwide as believers in God. Einstein, for instance, based his whole science upon his understanding of God and there's even a famous debate between him and his atheistic teacher.
The only people who've mistaken these people for atheists are people who've never bothered to get a proper education.
@rileaciousD Stalin is often mistaken for an atheist because his persecutions were not religiously motivated, but politically. It's a valid argument against anyone who thinks that religion is to blame for wars and atrocities, but it says nothing about Stalin personally.
.....to continue (from before) Maybe you could make another video. With a shorter list of people and include several examples for each, with reference and times, of individuals that you believe are mistaken for atheist. No one wants to see people mislabeled. Also not everyone agrees on definitions for atheist vs agnostic, maybe you could clarify that too. These are just some suggestions, you will do as you wish.
A POX ON HOSPICE: Your organization is predicated on eugenism. Fuhrer Adolf Hitler's T4 Program, during his Rockefeller-Foundation-funded reign of terror, was called hospice by the Father-Land-loving, compassionate folks of the National Socialist Party (Nazi). Western European allopathic doctors are currently "easing" the old ones into death via I.V.-administered barbiturates. Shame on you. May you and your children reap what you sow!
I don't recall anyone saying that Darwin was an atheist. Most people know that he was an avid theist, and was afraid that his discovery would destroy god.
actually, he wasn't, however unlike Creationists and most of his peers he believed that discovery took priority over scriptures.
In other words, if what was actually happening did not line up with scripture then it is the scripture that is wrong and we should not simply ignore the results.
@daslimshady1 The biggest advocates of Atheism, Dawkins, Mahers, Sam Harris and Hitchens (RIP) are anti-theists meaning they're against Religion, atheists are necessarily against Religion or the idea of a god.
@ivlfounder So, what's the purpose of this video? I can make a list of famous people "mistaken" for vegetarian and claim that X is not, in fact, a vegetarian but a vegan.
God loves you. Jesus died for you. John 3:16. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Most Americans think America was built on the foundation of region (Christians.) and that it is a christian nation... quite simply wrong, your closer to describing England than you are America. Going to leave you with a quote from your first non atheists... "The Bible is not my book nor Christianity my profession." -- Abraham Lincoln, quoted by Joseph Lewis in "Lincoln the Freethinker".
Who though that Mother Teresa was a atheist? Not only that's she's not, but she was beatified by the pope. Also, all Presidents of the United states are religious or believe in a god, and there is only one atheist currently serving congress.
@Chrisgodoflard Mother Teresa wrote some letters about how she was starting to lose faith in God because of all the cruelty in the world, but I don't think she actually became an Atheist.
The guy got a point with this video. However, remember that not being an atheist does not mean they are religious. Hell, it dont even neccesserly mean they are spirituel (however most prob are to some degree). For ex. Einstein, he never said he was an atheist. But he also said that he wasnt a christian or religious. He had his own view on it all and it could not be called either theistic or atheistic. Bet many others on this list are the same. in the end. It should not matter.
Video creator -- may I ask you, outright, do you represent a particular (i.e., specific) religious view? Several people here are implying or claiming that you're a bible thumping Christian (or something to that effect), but...well if you are, it isn't that obvious to me (at least not from this video). Would you be so kind as to clarify?
More important than being or not being atheist, is living a life modeled on the 'Prince of Peace' - Jesus (Sadly the majority of self proclaimed Christians don't)
A larger percentage than the US national average(3.2%) of the names dropped here were/are VEGETARIANS - Abraham Lincoln, Charles Darwin, Alfred Wallace, Mark Twain, Mohandas Gandhi, Albert Einstein, Steve Jobs & Scott Adams
Why does it matter what 1 believes, as long as what u believe isn't the impetus to cause unnecessary suffering
There are only about 5 people listed here who aren't Atheists, including President Obama as it's not legal to hold that office as an Atheist. You're facts are totally off my friend.
@ivlfounder Yes you asshole I have the actual documents in my back pocket! I can only tell you to look for them, I don't have national security clearance to get them for you! I would LOVE to have an Atheist president, but that's not going to happen so get the fuck off my back and do your own damn research!
@ivlfounder Actually I dont have a quote at all, I have common sense and I've read a lot of historical documents and know what they stood for, theism not being one of them. So before you go being a pompous ass and jumping to conclusions, don't bother replying.
@ivlfounder I think he might have been joking, you think fuck. Do you think an atheist can ever be president in this country full of idiots who deprive themselves of their only true liberty: free thought? No, never. Until we drop Christianity, good things will not happen. More wars will happen, that's for fucking sure.
What a pile of pup. Darwin not an atheists, are you crazy?. And I'm sorry but any list which has Darwin, Einstein, Lincoln and whoopi Goldberg in has got to be bollocks
1. Steve is Buddhist, so he'll come back to life as an otter.
2. Obama was at one point considering himself muslim. His dad was also but then stated atheism. Even so, Obama became a Christian, as of most people in politics are.
3. I hate atheism, because they keep on bugging me and ruining my life with there know it all minds. I also hate debating the topic of religion, and I'm very religiously paranoid.
So totally FAIL!! Haha! Einstein was an atheist, he explained it enough times and wrote about it! The problem with religiosity is it has a tendency to retard a persons ability to think clearly. God fucks up your HEAD! Haha! stupid theistic morons. SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP!!
I would have to agree that most of the people named were deists and some actual Christians,Muslims, etc, but I believe a few were mistakes such as Darwin and Bill Gates. All others I must tip my hat for the time spent finding quotes especially the Gandhi one, very interesting. Peace.
i don't care, as long as you aren't claiming they are christians...lincoln was agnostic, who said he was an atheist? And who ever said that mother teresa was an atheist? or einstein? he said that the idea of a personal god was childish, not that the idea of any god was bad at all.
Classic religious crap right here. 'I know, I'll just put pictures of people, no need for any form of citation or proof that there wern't athiest or have previously been called athiest by athiests.'
@TheEdgarAllenGospis Christopher Hitchens claimed she became an atheist later in life. He said she express serious doubts as in saying to the church "I pray and feel nothing" or something like that. Look it up for yourself.
Well you clearly have an attitude going on there mate. But you are right. If that quote were true Charles Darwin could also have been a Jew or a Muslim. However, as his lifes work contradicted the Old Testament he was unlikely to be Jewish. Being born and raised where is was he was unlikely to be Muslim. And as you are clearly a Bible thumping fire and brimstone zealot I assumed you were claiming him as a Christian. Which he wasn't!
Well, even if they were not atheists, if they do not believe in the One true God and in His holy Son Jesus, and accepted the sacrifice and became born again, they are going to Hell.
is this a joke? I mean Mohandas Gandhi, and Mother Teresa, who the hell ever said they were an atheist because I,m pretty sure no one has if so send me the link
Most of the ppl on this list considered themselves deists, and a few agnostics. They were NOT christian as many like to claim, nor were they atheists....although a few might be.
Most of these examples are incorrect and some are just plain stupid. Mother Theresa, really? No one doubts that she believed in God -- she was a fucking nun.
Gandhi was a Gandhi was a member of the Jain faith, thus he believed in many Gods. No one doubts that he was in fact a theist.
Carl Sagan, Angelina Jolie, Whoopi Goldberg, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs have all stated that they were atheists. Perhaps the only mistake is how you interpret what you read. Yes, I am calling you stupid.
I would imagine all these people, if not scrutinized by a overwhelmingly xtian nation, they would declare atheism. Dipshit xtians basically force people to remain silient about their beliefs
I have watched videos of tre parker and carl Sagan stateing that they were Athiests..but I could be wrong..they seem like intelligent people, but they could be Athiests..just becasue you are successful does not mean you are smart..so maybe they were/are Athiests and stupid. I don't know where you got your info. Alot of people are immoral so that is why they are Athiests, they don't want to feel guilty and change there perverse or evil ways. Really sad and pathetic to deny God.
At first look, the title threw me off. I expected you to have a personal bias.The only person on your list I could say would be questionable would be Mark Twain. Considering I read a lot of his articles questioning the existence of God. (Thoughts of God: From fables of Man)
I find his beliefs to be questionable cause he has indeed showed reverence for belief while at the same time writing many uncensored works questioning religion and God.
Incredibly stupid video. Mother Theresa? Next you'll be accusing atheists of claiming the pope as one of their own. Nobody capable of independent thought gives a fuck what a famous person, or anyone else believes anyway-it doesn't change what's true and what's false. A celebrity, actor or a physics genius can believe in the tooth fairy, but that doesn't make her any less of a childish fantasy, much like god. Did the fact that everyone once thought the Earth was flat make it so?
I had my prejudgement towards the title of this video , but once i saw it , I could not give it a thumbs down . Good sourcing i feel . I myself am an Agnostic with Atheist overtones i like to describe that about myself . I feel that i have no idea what affiliation the maker of the video is towards religion . Thumbs up .
I am an atheist. I never thought any of these people were atheists, except Albert Einstein. That I found interesting. People may be criticizing your video, but I liked it. Many of the quotes were thought provoking.
You put up a video with lots of atheists in it claiming falsly that they're not atheists. In some cases there is some doubt and in some cases you might even be right. You included Sagan. That alone removes any credibility and well frankly, its just plain retarded. To tell such an obvious lie is simply ridiculous and little pathetic.
You don't seem to understand the meaning of agnostic either. Most atheists are agnostics. Myself included.
@ivlfounder There are 2 types of atheist Positiv and Negativ. Positiv atheist are people who deny the existence of god(s), Negativ ATHEIST are people who lack the faith in god(s) and agnostics people say you cant know existence of god(s).
(wikipedia)
Negativ atheist and agnostic are almost the same so they are considered to be no believers.
@Figthefag There are 2 types of religious ppl. Those that are positive and realize their personal views should not be forced on others and they are non judgemental and respectful...and negative religious ppl....those who badger others wishing to force their limited view on others and who are rude and ignorant.
Carl Sagan a theist? Puh-leeeze.... (searc for the Sagan Series Part 3) This is quote-mining at its absolute worst. A majority of the people named here do not believe in God, and nearly all of them do not believe in the God of Abraham promoted by the poster. How many of the people you cited would have consented to being used as examples in this video?
"Agnostics" (actually apatheists) are atheists. They lack believe in the supernatural, regardless of whether or not they have formed an opinion of it. Anyone who says they are just "agnostic" IS an atheist, even if they won't admit it.
@ivlfounder Since you didn't said anything let me help you. There are people who: BELIEVE that God exists (Theists), BELIEVE that God doesn’t exists (Atheists) and those who DON’T BELIEVE at all. They rather KNOW things for a fact or be honest and say: “I don’t know”. They are called Agnostics and while the other 2 are spending their lives arguing about something that can NEVER be proved one way or another, they are living their lives and searching for the knowledge that they can actually have.
I think most atheists are in fact agnostics. Very few people are actually sure that there is no god, they just don't see evidence to suggest there is a god.
By the way, the video could use some small subtitles to identify the names of people. While some of them are obvious, a few of the newer ones, I have no idea who they are.
Seriously a lot of these comments are affected by some sort of confirmation bias. For instance "I have never been an atheist in the sense of denying the existence of God." does not mean he is not an atheist, atheism simply means a lack of belief and is a response to a claim, what Darwin is talking about is to declare God untrue. Wherever someone say I am an agnostic or we cannot know, he can still be an atheist. You are either an Agnostic theist or agnostic atheist, you aren't just agnostic
@T0N1H1N4S Why is it that arrogant...people... like you think that they get to make all the rules and define everyone else's beliefs (especially after they're dead)? Who are you to tell anyone what Darwin "really believed"? Did you know the man? Atheists like you are part of the reason I am no longer one. I am am agnostic by MY definition, not yours.
It doesn't matter whether they were atheists or not. At most, its a matter of curiousity. In some eras, saying one is an atheist wasn't politically correct or safe. ;).
Having read about the lives of the historic people in this video I feel it's safe to say they weren't cowards about what they believed and didn't believe.
I love this. First off who cares whether these people were or weren't Atheists. There is nothing to suggest by these quotes that they believed in any kind of God either. I do love how the author of the video dismisses everyone's quotes as fakes and demands proof while giving not proof or citations himself. And when someone does give proof as to where they got it from, he asks for proof of the proof. Not sure if he is stupid or troll. hmm. also interesting that comments have to be approved first
Bla bla bla bullshit, lots of quote mining and to claim Carl Sagan was NOT an atheist is completely absurd and unthruthful. Same goes for Bill Gates and Angelina Jolie.
This is a joke right? Christians are the ones saying they are Christians, atheists simply use their own words to prove they are NOT CHRISTIANS..nothing more, DUH! The thing I find funny is that this Christian doesn't realize he/she is only proving atheists points even more and pissing in the wind...lol.
So you had to stretch these peoples quotes to fit your theory when most of them were open atheists but when Hitler comes around you have to make another video claiming he was an athests even there is more proof that hes a christian than any one of these people. Your cherry picking - either take on or them all or you invalidate your entire argument.
@ivifounder Holy crap bro, why do you think they are lying? These are people who have dedicated their lives to history, I'm pretty sure they know what they're talking about. It wasn't just Lincoln btw, Jefferson and Madison faced some too, although to be fair Jefferson was more of a deist.
lol he called darwin an ahteist.
That would be the same as calling jesus a hindu.

2. Obama was at one point considering himself muslim. His dad was also but then stated atheism. Even so, Obama became a Christian, as of most people in politics are.
3. I hate atheism, because they keep on bugging me and ruining my life with there know it all minds. I also hate debating the topic of religion, and I'm very religiously paranoid.

Well you clearly have an attitude going on there mate. But you are right. If that quote were true Charles Darwin could also have been a Jew or a Muslim. However, as his lifes work contradicted the Old Testament he was unlikely to be Jewish. Being born and raised where is was he was unlikely to be Muslim. And as you are clearly a Bible thumping fire and brimstone zealot I assumed you were claiming him as a Christian. Which he wasn't!

At first look, the title threw me off. I expected you to have a personal bias.The only person on your list I could say would be questionable would be Mark Twain. Considering I read a lot of his articles questioning the existence of God. (Thoughts of God: From fables of Man)
I find his beliefs to be questionable cause he has indeed showed reverence for belief while at the same time writing many uncensored works questioning religion and God.

Incredibly stupid video. Mother Theresa? Next you'll be accusing atheists of claiming the pope as one of their own. Nobody capable of independent thought gives a fuck what a famous person, or anyone else believes anyway-it doesn't change what's true and what's false. A celebrity, actor or a physics genius can believe in the tooth fairy, but that doesn't make her any less of a childish fantasy, much like god. Did the fact that everyone once thought the Earth was flat make it so?

You put up a video with lots of atheists in it claiming falsly that they're not atheists. In some cases there is some doubt and in some cases you might even be right. You included Sagan. That alone removes any credibility and well frankly, its just plain retarded. To tell such an obvious lie is simply ridiculous and little pathetic.
You don't seem to understand the meaning of agnostic either. Most atheists are agnostics. Myself included.

@ivlfounder There are 2 types of atheist Positiv and Negativ. Positiv atheist are people who deny the existence of god(s), Negativ ATHEIST are people who lack the faith in god(s) and agnostics people say you cant know existence of god(s).
(wikipedia)
Negativ atheist and agnostic are almost the same so they are considered to be no believers.

@ivlfounder Since you didn't said anything let me help you. There are people who: BELIEVE that God exists (Theists), BELIEVE that God doesn’t exists (Atheists) and those who DON’T BELIEVE at all. They rather KNOW things for a fact or be honest and say: “I don’t know”. They are called Agnostics and while the other 2 are spending their lives arguing about something that can NEVER be proved one way or another, they are living their lives and searching for the knowledge that they can actually have.

I think most atheists are in fact agnostics. Very few people are actually sure that there is no god, they just don't see evidence to suggest there is a god.
By the way, the video could use some small subtitles to identify the names of people. While some of them are obvious, a few of the newer ones, I have no idea who they are.

Seriously a lot of these comments are affected by some sort of confirmation bias. For instance "I have never been an atheist in the sense of denying the existence of God." does not mean he is not an atheist, atheism simply means a lack of belief and is a response to a claim, what Darwin is talking about is to declare God untrue. Wherever someone say I am an agnostic or we cannot know, he can still be an atheist. You are either an Agnostic theist or agnostic atheist, you aren't just agnostic

And when someone does give proof as to where they got it from, he asks for proof of the proof. Not sure if he is stupid or troll. hmm. also interesting that comments have to be approved first
