~~One of the reasons why there is overlap between celebrities and atheists is their similar respective value systems (see: [[Hollywood values]] and [[Atheism and morality]]).~~

−

~~In addition, many famous actors/actreesses have inflated egos (see: [[Atheism and arrogance]] and [[Atheism and narcissism]]).~~

−

For example, an article in ''The Daily Illini'' (a newspaper at the University of Illinios) indicated: "It’s awards season yet again, and I for one feel overwhelmed with the amount of awards shows that seem to exist purely for stoking the already inflated egos of [[Hollywood]]."<ref>[COLUMN: Stop giving celebrities so many awards – their egos are big enough], ''The Daily Illini''</ref>
