Stephen Fry, the actor and comedian who is famous for his forthright views on religion and god has become almost a cult figure in the atheist movement.
Fry believes in what he sees as logic, the complete and utter abstention from religion.
He is an atheist and has repeatedly expressed his own opposition towards organised religion.
Fry makes his reasoning very clear, he describes religion as ‘cruel, hypocritical and loveless’ whilst emphasising the catholic church’s unwillingness to integrate LGBT peoples (like himself) into society.
Due to his own sexual orientation, Fry sees the teachings of religion as primeval and out of date, he describes himself as a humanist meaning he believes in ‘evidence, rationalism and the agency of human beings’, contrasting with (in his view) the ancient and speculatory evidence that religion uses.
So there is no secret to being Stephen Fry, he refers to himself as a ‘sceptical atheist’ meaning he believes people should question things around them and be more open to discussion.
