I have to agree with Neo on that one; can't say I know that many people IRL for their theism or atheism. Here it's different because here it's the point of contention... so it's all very visible... but IRL, at least for me, it hardly ever comes up. Who would I hug?... my parents of course, both Christians... long time friends of the family, also Christians... but I can't think of any public/famous figures, past or present, that I'd either know or would stand out because they were theists. Likewise for atheists... about the only two that come to mind are Richard Dawkins and Ricky Gervais. But can't say I have any 'fandom' about any figure on account of their atheism or theism; it's a moot point really, because religion or lack of doesn't make the person, it's just an aspect of the person. Anyway, regardless of whatever you think of me Neo, I'd give you a hug if you wanted one, or at least bump glasses with you if that was preferable
