[[Howard Gardner]] at [[Harvard University]] has identified various distinct intelligences: interpersonal, intrapersonal, visual–spatial, verbal–linguistic, logical–mathematical, musical–rhythmic, bodily–kinesthetic, and naturalistic.<ref>[http://www.tecweb.org/styles/gardner.html Multiple Ingelligence]</ref>
Despite atheism existing for thousands of years and predating [[Christianity]], there is a small proportion of [[atheist art]] compared to religious art. For example, [[Wikipedia]], which was founded by an atheist and agnostic, has no article on "[[Atheist art]]", but Wikipedia does have an article on Christian art. Similarly, there is a small proportion of [[atheist music]] compared to religious music.
An atheist posted to atheist [[Sam Harris]]' discussion board: "This idea started when I googled “atheist art”. You see I was expecting to find art. Instead, what you get is a whole bunch of knockoffs of famous religious art that has been disfigured and mutilated. This made me slightly ashamed."<ref>[https://www.samharris.org/forum/viewthread/58689/ Atheist post at Sam Harris' discussion board]</ref>
As noted above, individuals advocating irreligion in [[Africa]] have been dated to go back several millennia.<ref> M.B. Mat'e, The History of Freethinking in Ancient Egypt (1956), no. 3.</ref> Although, there are artistic and musical achievements when it comes to African Christian art and African Christian music (for example African art museums displaying African Christian art), there has been a lack of significant African achievements when it comes to African atheist art and African atheist music.
Africa has many beautiful church buildings. Wikipedia, which again is a online encyclopedia found by an atheist and agnostic, has a church architecture article which features an entire section on [[Ethiopia]]n church architecture.<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Church_architecture&oldid=770772508 Wikipedia - Church architecture]</ref> However, there is not a single notable example of African atheist architecture (see also: [[Atheism and architecture]]).
