One of the causes of atheism is a hedonism. See: Causes of atheism and Atheism and hedonism.
The infamous pornographers Hugh Hefner and Larry Flynt are both atheists.[3] [4][5]
In 2003, Arena magazine magazine listed Flynt as #1 on the "50 Powerful People in Porn" list.[6] Flynt is paralyzed from the waist down due to injuries sustained from a 1978 assassination attempt by the serial killer Joseph Paul Franklin.[7][8]
A significant portion of the atheist community has misogynist beliefs and attitudes (see: Atheism and women and Atheism and rape and Elevatorgate).

In 2005, the Netherlands was ranked the 13th most atheistic country in the world and the website adherents.com reported that in 2005 39 - 44%% of the Dutch are agnostics/atheists/non-believers in God.[11] The Netherlands also has the 11th highest rate of belief in evolution as far as Western World nations (see: Evolutionary belief and bestiality).[12]
In February of 2010, the UK news website Metro reported:
| “ | Given the illicit nature of the product, precise figures on animal pornography video sales are difficult to find, but the Dutch newspaper Algemeen Dagblad, in a 2007 survey, found that distributors in the Netherlands were responsible for some 80 percent of bestiality videos worldwide.[13] | ” |
In 2010, the Netherlands banned bestiality.[14]
