Hollywood Atheist: Difference between revisions

 

* A [[Dead Little Sister]] or some other trauma, or a miserable life in general was the direct cause of their 'conversion' to atheism, as well as a [[Fridge Logic|paradoxical]] [[Rage Against the Heavens|anger]] at a [[God]] who lets such things happen. Consequently, the '''Hollywood Atheist''' can easily be made to reverse or reexamine their lack-of-belief if something good happens, even if nothing explicitly supernatural is going on. Conversely, when something bad happens (especially their own death approaching) the atheist will suddenly become a believer and start praying for help. See [[Nay Theist]] if they do believe in a higher power but have a grudge against it for these reasons.

* Atheists have been turned off by [[Corrupt Church|hypocrites and villains acting in the name of religion]] and only need to be shown a non-hypocritical believer to see the light.

* Atheists are somehow simply unaware of religion, and [[Easy Evangelism|will happily convert on the spot]] when informed of the rudiments of whatever dogma the work is endorsing. Expect them in an [[Author Tract]] (despite the name this shows up as early as the book Hayy ibn Yaqzan, making this trope [[Older Than Feudalism]]).
