This is something that has been on my mind recently. Some people don't really care about the portrayal of atheists in fiction, but to me it is a sign of how we are perceived on the whole. What is odd is how rare it is to have an atheist protagonist in a story. The only 2 I can think of is Edward Aleric from full metal alchemist and William adama from battlestar Galactica. But science and the evil evil scientist moteef is fucking everywhere.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
