Famous vegan atheists

Post by Jebus »

Are there any? I did a quick search and couldn't find any. Some vegans, like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, define themselves as spiritual, whatever that means.
How to become vegan in 4.5 hours:
1.Watch Forks over Knives (Health)
2.Watch Cowspiracy (Environment)
3. Watch Earthlings (Ethics)
Congratulations, unless you are a complete idiot you are now a vegan.

Go through a list of vegans and determine whether they are atheists:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_vegans

People that I notice right away (who I recognize):
- Darren Aronofsky (didn't know he was vegan, love his movies)
- Brad Pitt
- Brian Greene (also didn't know he was vegan :o)

People I'm doubtful about:
- Natalie Portman (whether atheist or not)
- Douglas Hofstadter (whether vegan or just vegetarian)
- Bill Clinton :P (whether atheist or not)

I knew Brad Pitt was atheist but didn't know he was vegan. Too bad he's not more outspoken about veganism as he could have a huge impact.

He would be the perfect ambassador of veganism. Apparently he's pretty passionate too; I read somewhere he get's mad whenever Angelina Jolie or his kids eat meat. Could be complete crap though.

Peter Dinklage voiced a PETA thing called 'meet your meat', that's pretty cool. I didn't watch it because I don't like watching animals suffer and stuff.

It's annoying how much veganism and vegetarianism get mixed up with this sort of thing.

OK, just did a bit more of research and here is the updated list of celebrity vegan atheists that I have heard of.
Brad Pitt
James Cameron
Bryan Adams
Robin Gibb
Joaquin Phoenix

The following are confirmed vegan and probably atheist (although they never said so publicly as far as I know)
(Pamela Anderson)
(Morrisey)
(Samuel L. Jackson)

miniboes. sadly very few of the people on the wikipedia vegan list are atheist. Some of them are not even vegan, like Bill Clinton.

Can't believe I didn't see Paul McCartney on here. He was on PETA's Glass Walls video.
She's beautiful...
