*Sir Denis Forman<ref>"The more significant was Granada's Adam Smith the following year, with Keir as a bereaved Church of Scotland minister seeking the meaning of life. Though written by Trevor Griffiths under a nom-de-plume, it owed much of its character to Sir Denis Forman, by this time Granada's chairman and himself a son of the manse – Adam was his father's first name. Sir Denis is also a convinced atheist, and the series, which at first went out on Sunday evenings as a religious offering, became so doubting that it had to be switched to an ordinary outlet."

== Overlap between celebrity atheists and Hollywood ==

[[File:Sculpture Narcissus.jpg|thumbnail|right|200px|A study found that atheists were more likely to be seen as [[Narcissism|narcissistic]] than religious believers - especially male atheists.<ref>[https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2016-37955-001 The perception of atheists as narcissistic], Dubendorff, S. J., & Luchner, A. F. (2017), ''Psychology of Religion and Spirituality'', 9(4), 368-376.</ref> See also: [[Atheism and arrogance]] and [[Atheism and narcissism]] ]]
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>
