Atheists aren't that bad. This is NOT an argument for atheism... It's a defense of atheists.
This video received the award for "Excellence in Humanist Communications" from the Harvard University Humanist Chaplaincy.
James Randi said this video was "very cool!"
Michael Shermer said it was "very impressive."
Penn & Teller said, "If a god existed, this video would make him wish he were dead."
Dan Barker (author of "Losing Faith in Faith") said it was "very creative and powerful" and that it "makes a GREAT point!"
Greg Epstein (the Humanist Chaplain of Harvard University) said "it's a wonderful video!"
Stephen Ulh (author of "Imagine No Superstition") said that this video was "just wonderful for the cause of atheism."
David Mills (author of "Atheist Universe") said "I am absolutely addicted to watching this fabulous video, which has almost instantly become a legend in the freethought community. Zak has created the most intellectually and emotionally powerful multimedia presentation I've ever seen endorsing the atheist position. This is a proud moment for all rational-minded people. Atheist books can have wide-reaching influence, but I strongly suspect that Zak's video will influence a much larger audience than any atheist book ever published. The first few times I watched this video, I literally had tears in my eyes by the end. The artistic talent and technical skills required to write and produce this video -- as well as its core message -- have made Zachary Kroger my newest freethought hero. I'm not surprised at the HUGE reaction Zak's video has generated."
This video (among others) was also mentioned in the November 4th New York Times article "God and Man on YouTube."
Nobelief.com said this was "the best video of 2006."
NOTE- It has been brought to my attention that Mark Twain, and Susan B. Anthony are not atheists. I looked into it, and my original sources were wrong. Sorry.
You can download the song used in this video at http://thegodmovie.com/cd/IsThisTheRealThing.mp3
Lastly, I am pleased to see how much debate this video has sparked, and I encourage everyone that wants to, to join in. HOWEVER, spamming will not be tolerated. Nor will racist, sexist, or other mean comments. Such behavior is not conducive to good conversations, and users who do not act accordingly will be blocked. If you want to insult people, go somewhere else.

@MyBali2011 "More people in the USA believe in that then the lie that we all came from monkeys .Your in the minority"
Ad populum fallacy. It doesn't matter how many people believe in your mythology. Only morons who know nothing about evolution say we came from monkeys. We and the ape species came from a common ancestor. Evolution is science fact. Human beings and Orangutans, our closest ape relative share almost 98% the same DNA.

If you go to looktothestars (dot) org, I think you will be more than impressed with the amount of money and time these celebrities contribute.

A good half of the people in there aren't actors though.

In other words, the people that are in the video only because they're in movies... shouldn't be there. If they've done something truly good, then say what it is. There is no point in using someone as an example without stating why.
Unless it really is just that they're good actors >.>
Which, when looking at the big picture, is completely meaningless.

Being a good actor doesn't make a good person.

Atheism suffer emotional impairment, lack of creative imagination, flexibility, fluidity, wisdom and much more. It make them intelligently stupid.

@MrGreenPoop1000 If grandpa Bill was a great guy and he did the right things for his family and friends, enjoyed learning new things, loved music and beauty and in doing so inspired future others to do the same thing , DESPITE his knowledge that the cosmos didn't really care that he existed, we celebrate his attitude and we vow to let his inspiration work in us and our future others. In this way he will live on and his life had purpose.
