  • Been saying it for years, give it two thousand years and people will be telling tales of the boy with the scar on his forehead who saved the world from an evil man.

  • This guy is a dumbass. He just runs his mouth about characters that EVERYONE knows but he doesn't. What an ass.

  • I'm glad I'm logical. With that being said as a christian Harry Potter teaches children so very important values of friendship, having to depend on those around you, and having to come through for those you care about. Anyway those are some christian values. In fact they are very universal values so I can't say exclusively christian. A lot of right wingers are starting to close off their churches and they're becoming more cult like. I had a friend who no longer talks to non-christians for examp.

  • @lordblazer

    I think that action is insane, why limit yourself to someone from just one walk of life. Anyway enjoyed the HP series altogether was an awesome 10 years.

  • the religions that say HP is the devil usually do so because well let's face it. Old people who have kids that are into this stuff, and they themselves do not understand why which means it must be the devil. They did the same shit to Pokemon. I mean seriously!

  • It's because he's using magic and we all know what part of Christianity that leads to...

  • It's a story, fiction, get over it !!!

  • Hey also Gay

  • Hmm, Jesus or Dumbledore. Tough choice.

  • 1. Turn on cc.

    2. Profit.

  • I think he is thinking of Voldemort as the Anti-Christ.

  • Jesus or Dumbledore? Dumbledore all the way! (it's harder if you were to choose between Dumbledore and Gandalf, but Jesus is no competition at all)

  • he is amazing and they are not loseing half the bases if you realy are so paranoide that harry is sneaking athist imigese in then we are doa

  • Atheism is not a religion, so nobody is judging him on his religion. He doesn't have a religion. Just like if I don't play any sports, I don't play the sport called non-sports.

  • @swr1240 You know there have been some arguments that Atheism is in fact a new form of fundamentalism. It has a theory on the world's existence- Evolution, its own unique dogma- secular libertarianism, its preachers- evolutionary "scientists" and sacraments- abortion. As for the absence of a deity, neither does Buddhism. Read Ann Coulter's Godless: the Church of liberalism.

  • @MrEnlighteneddespot Just because there have been some arguments about it, doesn't make it any more true. And Ann Coulter's a nut-case. I've heard her talk; wouldn't give her a penny for her opinion in a book.

  • @swr1240 Blasphemer! All hail to the mighty doctrines of Atheism.

    Now repeat after me:

    There is no god, Therefore all Religious views are null and void.

  • you two where dropped on your heads, your letting this snow ball by talking about this. Can you find some thing better? TYT you guys are "want to be's" go find some real news to talk about.

  • Jesus or Dumbledore....

    Fuck that, Dumbledore wins!

  • I dont give a shit.....people dont critize about your religion....Your horrible......Im chirstian and i dont care

  • Dumbledore all the way(2:35)

  • Ohhhh maannn. Old news but lovely still. Harry certainly is a... wait what?

    Its called "acting" since when is persons disbelief in God tied to character SOMEONE ELSE wrote? XD

    Also, Gods magic (and magic he lent to others) is ofcourse holy, but "fictional" magic in books is evil? Oh wait! Which book and which fictional magic!? :D

  • HARRY POTTER IS THE ENEMY OF GOD!

    FFS when will you godless athiest come to your senses!

    Submit to Jesus and the kingdom of our imaginery god and repent!!!!!1111111111SHIFT+1

  • @willzjc I hope you're trolling...

  • haha click the caption button . lolol

  • Actually, atheists = shit or better atheists = immorality!!

  • Thats pretty ignorant to stop likin him or to stop watchin his movies just because hes atheist. Its not like he goes in his basement doin satanic demon shit to little kids. Im christian and i still wouldnt mind a day kickin it wit daniel

  • I've heard that the guy who wrote the hymn Ave Maria also was a professed follower of the goddess Athee.

  • who the fuck did the english translation?

  • Does atheist believe in love, worries, etc??

  • @wackyrhose of course atheists believe in love :)

  • @esiosan

    Why? we cannot see love, right?

  • @wackyrhose well, they're still human, love is a chemical reaction, so all points go towards 'yes'.

  • @RealBronzeClaws

    So what comes first the idea of love or the chemical reaction?

  • @wackyrhose They're the same thing. But then, there's proof for neither sooo... guess I'm a love-ist. :)

  • O @TYT how far you've come !!!

  • I might start watching his movies because of this.

  • Well... There goes the Harry Potter series I used to like. Atheists can suck mah dick! xD

  • @erpuzzetta01 It seems like you Love thy neighbor.

  • @killetrocitystick: Are you my neighbor? Do you live on the right or left side of this house I live in? I just think Atheists are fucking stupid.

  • @erpuzzetta01 Did you know one of the 10 commandments is love thy neighbor?

  • @killetrocitystick: Yes, I know that.

  • @erpuzzetta01 Ah, Christian love.

  • who ever sub-titled this video is shit.

  • @allblue88 you can fight the religious influence in the US all you want, well actually you need to take out those mormons, but posting a comment that only says 'fuck religion', or "religion is the only reason there's always war." That's not true.

  • No need to knock religion. Its not doing anything to you

  • @crow0314 Tell that to the children of the priests. Oh, and what about the suicide bombings?

  • @matthewtaylorbrown thats not christianity, thats loud psychos who call themselves something theyre not. so everyone thinks other christians are like that one person. were not, do i hate all black people because of the few that robbed a bank in my area recently? open your mind

  • 1:14

    no, religion is pathetic. 

  • Harry Potter is more believable than religion.

  • We r still in america,right?

  • LOL. I don't know why I find it funny but, LOL.

  • i like him even more

  • @GuacamoleKun yeah I cleared my point when someone else pointed that out. So look for it and read it. :)

  • How the HELL is this an outrage that he is an Atheist??!! I am Roman Catholic and I literally couldn't give a rats ass! He is still a great actor and at least has the balls to say he is an Atheist. FUCK OFF YOUNG TURKS

  • @TheNightOwlsSquadron Wow, it's called sarcasm. You need to watch the whole video.

  • @TheNightOwlsSquadron that part was a joke, they really don't give a sauteed rats ass either.

  • @TheNightOwlsSquadron I am christian and I don't give a flying fuck that he is atheist or not. I don't know him personally and it did not stop from loving the series

  • @theZ0g lol good point. But that's not what my point is, what I meant is that non-believers criticize believers like they're doing something wrong. They don't have to say "fuck religion" every time someone brings it up, gotta have some respect.

  • To all people who say fuck religion or whatever, go fuck yourself, why do you even give a fuck??? If you're atheist, you have no religion, so stop complaining about it when you don't even have one and Cenk its the order of the Phoenix, and the Sorcerers stone, respect potter :)

  • @thefalstini ugh....atheists criticize religion because atheists recognize its plague on the world.

  • @thefalstini So if you were interested in Roman history, or ancient art- I could say "why do you care? you're not a Roman! You're not an artist!" This may be the most poorly thought out point i've ever heard. Religion dominates our world, and non believers are part of that world, so ya! we "give a fuck". That's like saying "stop complaining about the government- your not a politician!"

    why do you care about Harry Potter? your not a wizard!

  • @thefalstini "so stop complaining about it when you don't even have one"

    Okay, and I'll also stop complaining about cocaine, because I don't even have any, and nuclear weapons, because I don't even have one, and aids, because I don't even have it. No reason to give a shit about something that sucks if you don't even have it.

  • @thefalstini actually, considering the religious bias that is usually detectable everywhere in places like america (even in politics) atheist should care. ofc saying "fuck religion" don't help anything, but fighting the religious influence is not a bad idea.

  • if the magic in Harry Potter were real. If you could really pass on magic through your bloodline you would not need to believe in it for it to be real. harry did magic early on without being aware of it until later when he could learn to control it. Jesus in the Bible promises superpowers for having faith the size of a mustard seed. I have yet to see any christians actually using their faith powers to heal or to move heavy objects around. most HP characters are more moral than any in Bible

  • Cenk... sigh... a lot of people care about what religion you are... they're called idiots.

  • @chicarbiomed of course I say this because all religions are equally full of shit.

  • Seems to me the bigger issue is teaching people to distinguish fact from fiction. Being against Harry Potter is a waist of time. Why don't we argue over the Wizard of Oz? Why? Because it's FICTION! Neither transcend into my personal beliefs.

  • @Autmngrl what the fuck is a WAIST of time? LMAO

  • @AirDeDios That it should even be debated.

  • Comment removed

  • @AirDeDios ha ha you got me there. You're right I misspelled. No worries

  • fuck religion

  • Religion = shit

  • @BladeStrikes How dare you compare Shit to religion! If Shit could talk, it'd be very very offended.

  • @BladeStrikes That's why Pastor Jack says "I'm glad I follow God and NOT religion!"

  • @BladeStrikes

    i feel sorry for you

  • @CLICk000000000000 Uh? Are you that fucking retarded?

  • @wattsnick30 I think you are right there.

  • @wattsnick30 and also dropp it

  • @wattsnick30 i am not super reilgious dat is a biblicists i follow my religion lookk at u u criticize ppl for their religion u fuckin stupid mother fukin racist atheist bastard

  • @25horrormoviefan You're a moron, and that is in addition to being religious, not a result of it.

  • @no2religions the only moron here is you motherfucka so i am a moron for havin a religion u dont know shit

  • im muslim and ive watched every harrypotter movie there is

  • 77. Does not man see that We have created him from Nutfah (mixed male and female discharge semen drops). Yet behold! He (stands forth) as an open opponent.

    78. And he puts forth for Us a parable, and forgets his own creation. He says: "Who will give life to these bones when they have rotted away and became dust?"

    79. Say: "He will give life to them Who created them for the first time! And He is the All-Knower of every creation!"

    Al-Quran:36

  • @emaan456 Have you seen the smurf's movie. THAT is more relevant to real life. Preach on your own channel, dink.

  • @no2religions And you are not getting the movie of this life anyway

    Where there are Heroes and Enemies for humans.,

    Supporters of enemies(Devils) will get terrible everlasting punishment and supporters of Heroes(Prophets) will get splendid everlasting pleasure.

    The Producer of this movie is "ALLAH" ,GOD, CREATOR.

  • ok...so he is an atheist...big deal!...

  • @animefanmaniac I'm an atheist. I think it's a big deal. Religion is crazy stuff! :)

  • the fact is theres absolutley no more believebality to christianity than there is to harry potter which is zero. thats why christians shot themselves in teh foot by rageing about this , they make this an issue and they loose it from the getgo but what they also do make people wake up from the use of accepting theyre book of fairytales as something you dont ridicule people for believing in. they shot themselves in the foot, and man.. i realy hope JR would have had more brains than to believe it

  • @86Corvus the believability behind christianity is the bible and historical documents surrounding the existence of Jesus. They accept it just as you accept that quantum mechanics, thermo, and p chem are real even though you probably don't understand them at all.

  • @86Corvus well... the charecters in HP sounds more believeable... and kings cross exists!

    xD

  • Cthulhu and Flying Spaghetti Monster can both go fuck themselves.

  • @17thSHIT what if they fucked eachother? We could get a flying cthulhu, who would taste like spaghetti!

    YAAAAY All hail the flying cthulhu, who would taste like spaghetti! BURN THE NON-BELIEVERS!!!!

  • I am a atheist what is the big deal about it

  • I don't know about them, but I'm Roman Catholic (which is usually super crazy hard core) and our priest loves Harry Potter and will even occationally talk about it during sermons.

  • "Jeeeezuss" he's sexy. *sigh*

    btw... just wondering, any atheists tried getting rid of interjections like Jesus, God, Hell, etc. I tried "Merlin's Beard" for a while but it just didn't work out! D':

  • @NTHcats I never use Jesus or God that way & rarely Hell. Sometimes I say "Go to Heaven" as a curse.

  • His atheist magic kicked ass, lmao

  • didnt they celebrate christmas in one of the books/ movies???

  • @Tripp3d010 they mention Christmas in all of the movies :p

  • What a bad piece of journalism

  • Those evangelical ministers are brain-damaged if they think Harry Potter is anti-Christian. A young man lets himself be killed to save other people, goes to heaven, gets sent back down to earth and comes to life again. WHERE HAVE I HEARD THAT BEFORE.

  • @APocketOfTime look how smart u are wow i clap for u the world has billons of people billions and billions and even million have a religion fukin idiot

  • I find this video comforting as an englishman. It's comforting because the fact 'harry potter' is atheist is not remotely an issue, not somthing people would even think of as being something to discuss and isn't covered in the media here :)

  • Just because were Christians doesn't mean were losers...? I watch Harry Potter twilight I watch horror movies and I swear.

  • To ban harry potter books is just stupid.

  • Christianity is not dying u fags u will all remember this when u made fun of us on the judgment day. So go on call us stupid or idiots. Idc u will see the truth eventuallly;D

  • @arianaamber Is this a joke? If it is then LOL if not then LOL.

  • @ScienceAndTurtles No it snt, and youll see ill be the on "LOLing" you bitch. i feel bad for you. :( im dead serious i do,

  • @arianaamber I feel bad for you look at the way you're acting using the words 'fags' and 'bitch' your bible preaches against using profanity. Seems like you'll be waiting in the line for hell with me :)

  • @ScienceAndTurtles kk listen, how do you even know about our bible? anywasy obviously u dont cuz we dont beleive that just cuz you swear your going to hell going to hell is when u dont beleive in God or Jesus or the Holy Spirit wich i do.. just cuz im a christian doesnt mean im a goody two shoes. you really shouldnt be judging people by there beleifs the only reason im saying all of tis is because im standing up for my beleifs. im not judging you just because you dont beleive the same as me.

  • @arianaamber How do I know about your bible? I go to a catholic school and I don't live under a rock. I can't really read what you said but it is true that in some bits of the bible it says all you have to do is believe and you shall get to go live with your sky daddy. In other parts it says you must obey all of his rules otherwise no magical wonderland for you. I'm not judging you as a person I'm just wondering about your mental health.

  • @ScienceAndTurtles ok look im sorry. can we just drop this its been going on for days.  and i understand that yo might of thought that i was insulting you by saying that my bible says that we dont have to follow all the rules and im sorry if u thought i was insulting you. and no i dont have mental problems i got mad and kinda freaked out so im sorry.

  • @arianaamber I didn't expect that lol. You dealt with me very well. *respectfully shakes hand*

  • @ScienceAndTurtles haha shakes hand back. and yeah it kinda just got out of controllxD

  • Nooooooo!!!!!!! U can't be atheist!!! :(

  • Hail Dumbledore.

  • I just came back from a 5 week road trip through America, and I can tell you this; religion there is not declining. There's towns in Alabama that can't possibly have as many inhabitants as they have churches, most of which are either Baptist or Presbyterian. Receipts usually have 'God bless you' written on them. People poor as hell vote Republican for the sole reason that Republicans tend to play the religious card a tad more often than Democrats.

    So, church people, no reason to worry, ok?

  • people gettin riled up for someones beliefs ? O-o...ugh it sucks to be human

  • Oh the movie was all fine, and as soon as they find out he's an atheist they "give the series hell"? fuckin christians. RELIGION IS DYING!

  • @lexhus Haha wrong, Christianity is going through its greatest period of growth in human history -

    watch?v=j07dJA2i1tw

  • @MasterSasha1 Hahaha! Well somebody probably told those africans that if they believe, god will come back and save them all from hunger and diseases. Who in that situation wouldn't believe in this shit? :D

  • @MasterSasha1 no youre wrong it is dying cause the kids of today are more inteligent than those old dumb believers from the past

  • @ThekLiMpF I never gave a reason for why it is growing/dying. I made a FACTUAL point about the huge growth of the faith in Africa. Watch the video, read what I actually wrote, and then make a point accordingly, The intelligence or stupidity of believers wasn't a factor in the debate.

  • WTF? 0:52 Closed Captions?

    ''One-eighty Harry Potter Israel competition'' LOL

  • Hang him...Lol

  • why does it matter if somebody is athiest. i don't understand that.

    its like saying ooh noo he is christian ooooh nooo, its the EXACT samething.

    ooh noo he has a mowhawk noooooo

  • Comment removed

  • I would pick Dumbledore and Harry Potter everytime

  • Daniel Radcliffe just got a whole lot hotter!!!!

  • i like atheist

  • The captions are all wrong

  • I'm curious, did Christianity have the same reaction they had with Harry Potter as to StarWars/StarTrek? or is it the whole magic thing...

  • u're all wrong. youtube is empty

  • that's plain stupidity

  • I bet the character is atheist too

  • @vOddy75 that's a pretty stupid thing to say...

  • i think the 3 year old can take him on the court though :P

  • Daniel has said he grew up Jewish, but he sees himself more as atheist.

  • Harry Potter on the book is in a line of pagan/Wicca and yet the christian and Catholics try to burn the harry potter books why don' the Catholics tell their buddies the Christians how the Catholics stolen from the pagan religions and the pagan holidays and also how they stolen the cross from paganism and Catholics are knew for Voodoo which is in Haiti fuck religion

  • @anival2sorto paganism has to do with Greco-Roman polytheism i am a catholic and i like the harry potter movies and books watch how u talk about my religion because it just means you are scared religion you damn atheist paganism has nothing to do with christianity no ideas were stolen the cross was adopted as a symbol of catholic and christian

  • @25horrormoviefan Lol i do not fear religion because it is man made and trust me dude x-mas and thanksgiving is from Paganism which is somewhat like the sumerian religion and the sumerian was the very first religion itself you have you're own opinions and i have my opinions :P

  • @anival2sorto to you religion is man made and i don't need to trust you i dont give a fuck about paganism i learned about it already and i believe in god jesus christ the messiah and holy spirit

  • @25horrormoviefan Lol not only to me millions of people knows religion is man made ^_O

  • i love how loads of evangelicals burnt all the harrypotter books in a place in america because they encouraged wichcraft

  • If i really had to choose between religion and Harry Potter, I'm going with the Phoenix. A lot cooler than a talking snake.

  • Not only is he an atheist, but in the same interview, he also expresses his open-minded attitude towards gay people and is a fan of Richard Dawkins. I respect him a LOT after finding out about this.

  • YES he does not believe thank you dan

  • Id pray to Dumbledore waaaaay before Id pray to God :P

  • wait... whats the difference between harry potter and any other religion..??

  • so what, we have to respect your religions, respect us too then

  • OF COURSE the Harry Potter series is competition for religion. One book of fiction that talks about magic is just as good as any other.

  • What about Odin?
