{{Cquote|Strict nonbelievers in God, gods, or the supernatural are given a negative portrayal in the popular media.
Sometimes, non-believers can have virtues such as intelligence. At other times, they can be demonised, quite literally. More often than not, the [[Secular humanism|Humanist sub-population who are atheists]] are not represented in the media at all.
