16 Sexiest Female Atheists (with pics, of course)
Originally, this post contained a list of photos of sexy female atheists. I took the list down because of this.

I don’t know about Portman being an atheist – she’s pretty open about being Jewish.
Sasha Grey & Carla Bruni are both atheists, also. Scott
Jennifer Hewitt is an ‘atheist’? She’s making money with a show about ghosts, ain’t she? She obviously has no problem with the supernatural.
Cliche’ alert: Princess Lea in the gold bikini? *smirk*
Angelina Jolie now seems more like it… And she has that “I’m gonna kick religion in the nards” smoking hot expression.
Cheap shot, Luke. This is how you’re… attracting traffic to your site. For shame… now if you’ll excuse me… ahem… EvanT
I feel the need to make amends to the female readers of your blog, after some comments I (and others) made about the two blonds in the “Christians and Atheists Compared” post. So, how about a list of sexiest male atheists. I’m sure George Clooney and Brad Pitt belong on the list. Torgo
Re: Portman. It’s hard to say for sure, but for example she doesn’t believe in the afterlife, and “Jewish” doesn’t necessarily mean “theist” anymore. Also, she did work as a neuroscientist, which alone makes it very unlikely she’s theistic. :) lukeprog
I would have put Jodie Foster on that list. That probably says something about my age.
Who is Asia Argento? Yikes she is hot! (Too bad about that massive angel-like tatoo though…)
Very pleased to see that Monica Bellucci, Natalie Portman, and Eva Green are atheists. They’re some of my favorite hotties. Silver Bullet
Luke, you might not consider her a super model, but Ariane Sherine is sexy as all get out;

This is great. You should do a list of atheist comedians. Derrida
Ariane Sherine is a little cutie but I’m having a hard time finding a picture that really shows it online. lukeprog
EvanT,
Atheists can believe in the supernatural. Most of them don’t, but believe in the supernatural doesn’t make you not an atheist.
As for attracting traffic… is there something shameful about that? And remember, this isn’t just a website for analytic philosophy, though I do cover that more often than most atheist blogs. lukeprog
Luke,
Screw all your detractors on this one. You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar for posting this. Andy Walters
You shameless PageRank whore. :) Jason Creighton
Actually, I’d like to bet I will not get much traffic from this post. I doubt it will be in my top 20 most popular posts in 3 months time (and certainly not before). lukeprog
Miranda Kerr is a goddess. How can she be an atheist :) Da Vinci
I’m also pretty sure Portman is a theist. I recall reading up on famous atheists and seeing that she was misquoted. I’d have to dig up the link though. Ben
So I’m lazy and just used Wikipedia, but it led here:
http://natalieportman.com/articles/nparticles_en.php?viewarticle=1&article_number=199
to this quote:
“Her grandfather came to Israel, expecting to send for his family later. There was not later: history swept it away. His parents were taken to Auschwitz. This is the heritage within which Portman grew up.
“Recent events in Israel have troubled Portman deeply. “Anytime anything happens to anyone there, it’s like a limb’s been ripped off,” she says. She adds, perhaps concerned that her entire political position should be assumed from this: “I’m very protective of Israel, obviously, but I’m more protective of humanity than of any of my own personal desires.”
“Of her religion, Portman says, “I’m much more like the product of a doctor than I am a Jew.” She is uncomfortable about the concept of the afterlife. “I don’t believe in that. I believe this is it, and I believe it’s the best way to live.” …” tom
These quotes sure make her sound like an atheist. lukeprog
Thank you, God. Samphire
Damn, your list is better evidence for intelligent design than anything the Discovery Institute has ever put out. Maybe they should switch their focus to the specified complexity of the female form… Jeff H
Shame on you for not including me. Is it my age?
I get naked all the time.
/lie Lagunatic
Lagunatic,
If you post a photo of yourself in a bikini, maybe you will make the list. :)
And I’m sure it would help you get to 20,000 hits. lukeprog
It shall be done.
Soon.
Like, before I hit 40.
(Years old, not hits)
Let’s see what I can dig up.
/shamlessness Lagunatic
Damn, Lagunatic, I didn’t make the cut, either. And I thought I was *way* sexier than Angelina Jolie. ;) Laura
Laura, these guys…what can I say? No standards :D Lagunatic
*sigh*

Hehe, no kidding! I am at *least* a 10 on the hillbilly scale. ;) Laura
I could have sworn I’ve seen a porn clip with Bree Olson where during the little small talk segment before the scene she made some comment about being Christian.
Oh well if she’s an Atheist now all the better. Although after hearing her talk the only thing putting her on this list is her looks because she couldn’t spell Cat if you spotted her the C and the A.
Great post though. I’ll take this over another WLC love-fest. Jason
Hey now, there is plenty about which I disagree with Craig. Also see here and here. lukeprog
Lagunatic,
What’s the sigh for? :)
Do you have those pics in higher resolution, and the one on the left without your head cut in half? :)
Intense eyes, my dear. lukeprog
Thanks for posting this up. As part of your female audience, I would consider this very sexist if you don’t follow up with the 16 Sexiest Male Atheist so that we too indulge on atheist hotness and not only assume your all your audience are straight males. Thanks. Cindy
Cindy,
The problem is, I’m not so fit to judge such a thing. I may have to leave that to a female atheist blogger. lukeprog
Start with Brad Pitt & Hugh Laurie – work from there. Scott
Thanks I know you have. Just a little dig. I just feels like he’s covered here with too much adoration for my taste. But I still read almost ever post. Keep up the great site! Jason
I’m only saying this because at PZ’s blog, during the upset over Google censoring “Islam is…” it was noted that Google suggests that “Richard Dawkins is…hot.” Now, wait a minute, just hear me out. Sure, the man is in his late 60’s, but you have to admit that in his earlier years he had good fine features and was probably considered quite handsome by women. Beelzebub
Luke,
I WAS kidding, of course. *chuckles* I have no problem with seeing pictures of these lovely ladies. Emotion can be hard to convey over the internetz. EvanT
Every other post on this blog this year is going to be better than this one.
Sorry to be Mr. Neg, but there’s enough pretty ladies on the internet, but there is not enough awesome philosophy of religion blogs. Naug
It’s called acting. Someone pays them money to play a role which may or may not reflect their personal beliefs. Reginald Selkirk
Not quite. She’s one of the producers. So it’s a whole lot different than mere acting (and which is why I singled her out). Of course, Luke was quite clear on his definition of “atheist” in this post, but I do feel that she might be a tad hypocritical IF she doesn’t believe in the supernatural and still promotes it just cos it sells. At the moment I’m none the wiser, so I can’t really “pass judgement”. EvanT
So if Luke were to post the 16 sexiest males then it would become not sexist? No. It would make him, if you think this is sexist, twice as sexists. Though perhaps an equal opportunity sexist :-) Paul
So is it hypocritical to make a TV show about intergalactic space travel unless you believe that humans travel across galaxies through space? Or about human-sized mutant turtles who enjoy pizza and martial arts? You don’t have to believe something is real to think that it would be interesting to explore (in fiction) what things might be like if they were real. Lorkas
I said: “…IF she doesn’t believe in the supernatural and still promotes it just cos it sells.” It’s a simple conditional. What’s so hard to get? And to think I was being extra careful because I wanted to avoid sounding as… well… what you described; that I oppose fiction. EvanT
And where, may I ask, is the natural beauty that is ZOMGitsCriss on that list?
If you don’t know of her, you should be ashamed, but google is your friend.

Just arrived here via Laura’s blog via PZ’s blog (chose the long route home). Great job. You must have had a lot of fun compiling this list! Angelina Jolie, of course, rocks. But how on earth did you ever manage to tap on to the proclaimed atheism of assorted pornstars? Kausik Datta
Kausik Datta,
There are many, many porn stars who are probably atheists – these are just the ones for which I could find confirmation of their atheism. lukeprog
No, no, Luke, I do understand that. I was just wondering how you managed to track down the skinny on the beliefs (more precisely, lack thereof) of the ones you have listed here. Kausik Datta
Kausik,
Oh, I don’t remember how I first stumbled on them. All over the place. lukeprog
Regarding fictional female atheists:
“Misty (played by Rachael Lillis), from Pokémon.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fictitious_atheists_and_agnostics Austrian
I’m pretty sure Tilda Swinton is an atheist :
‘A long-time collaborator with the now-deceased queer filmmaker Derek Jarman, she is probably the least likely actress in the world to join forces with Bible bashers. “The Christians are welcome,” she says, with composed irony. “As everyone is welcome. Honestly, the connection had to be explained to me.’ (Talking about The Chronicles of Narnia, from http://tinyurl.com/ylke8rb) TimD
It sounds as though you do. Or that you are unable to draw a proper distinction between fiction and non-fiction. If she were producing a show about ghosts which was allegedly nonfictional, then you might be onto something. Reginald Selkirk
My bad for not being more clear. EvanT
Man’s got a point – she’s sexy. So is Lacy Green – the youtube chick. Lagunatic
Why would it be twice as sexist? It would be considering the female audience and not exclude it. What you think women don’t want some atheist eye candy like men do?
Haha and thanks to whoever suggested it to redheadedskeptic.com =) Cindy
I think you should post that the pictures might not be safe for work. Luckily for me, no one was behind me when I scolled over these pictures. Also, did you know that Asia Carrera is into physics?! (I think it’s mentioned on her webpage.) I think that’s pretty cool, as I’m also an Asian girl into physics. Jamie
WHAT IS “BEAUTY”? Mark
Yes! Morgan-LynnGriggs Lamberth
Of her religion, Portman says, “I’m much more like the product of a doctor than I am a Jew.” She is uncomfortable about the concept of the afterlife. “I don’t believe in that. I believe this is it, and I believe it’s the best way to live.” Dking
Re: Portman. I think the reason that quote is considered misused is that there are Jews with little to no belief in the afterlife and, for them, your current life is the most important thing you’ve got. I think her intention to raise her children in a Jewish environment shows that she doesn’t belong on this list. (Not that she’s not hot enough. Haha.) Rachel
Im disappointed you left out Katharine Hepburn! She was outspoken as an atheist and was gorgeous. Revyloution
“Ghost Whisperer” does purport to be based on James Van Praagh, who very much does insist that this stuff is real. I, personally, would not be able to work on such a program in good conscience. I’m a big fan of fantasy TV series and have no trouble watching Buffy or Supernatural, but I cannot stomach for a moment supporting people like Van Praagh. Michael Suttkus, II
Adriane Curry?! LOL
why Elyse Sewell not on this list?! benj
They’re hot! Elevic Pernis
Monica is an agnostic. Sounds a bit like a pantheist
In a documentary movie The Big Question about the film The Passion of the Christ, she stated: “I am an agnostic, even though I respect and am interested in all religions. If there’s something I believe in, it’s a mysterious energy; the one that fills the oceans during tides, the one that unites nature and beings.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monica_Bellucci B
Rose Byrne is an agnostic.
No, I wasn’t. I wouldn’t call myself an atheist, but more agnostic.
Yeah, I’d say I am agnostic. My parents are atheists. Well, my mum is. I’d say my dad was agnostic. But I think that I’m probably agnostic, yeah. I think the fact that there are so many different religions in the world immediately makes me suspicious. How can you know which one is right? Do you know what I mean? Is the Jewish religion right? Or is the Christian religion right? Or is the Hindu religion right?

So is Jennifer Love….. B
there are many, MANY more atheists hotties out there, they just happen to be the stupid sheep-like ones that ACT like they don’t believe there is a god, yet don’t have the guts to say anything about it. nimboo
Yea to relaity! Morgan-LynnGriggs Lamberth
“Relaity.”
Is that like reality?
I kind of like that as a new word, actually. Sort of like ‘Truthiness.’ lukeprog
Isn’t Megan Fox an atheist? WHY NOT?! Stu Ward
I KNEW there was a reason I wanted to be an atheist!!! Hot women don’t buy it either! beboppinbossrockinross
Stu Ward,
Is she? Do you have a source for that? lukeprog
Have a good look at the pics again… pretty soon these “sexy” losers will be employed in Satan’s harem. Enjoy Hell
Lol, fundies crack me up. lukeprog
Jennifer Love Hewitt of Ghost Whisperer is very pretty.,`. Madison Brown
@ Enjoy Hell: did you forget your meds again? beboppinbossrockinross
BTW, should anyone want more photos of the delectable Ms. Argento, you could do no worse than visiting here:
http://alltheshow.altervista.org/blog/category/asia-argento/
And Enjoy Hell, what a pathetic excuse for a human being you are. We’re enjoying the only life we’ll ever have, you’re fixated on the one you’ll never have. TimD
How about Nina Hartley, the porn star?
http://www.celebatheists.com/?title=Nina_Hartley Steve Caldwell
Well, Ms. Hartley would certainly seem to qualify, but (from the link) I’d take exception to her assertion that “…if it weren’t for the Jews, half the world would still be illiterate.”
Cum again? TimD
Just because Hewitt participates in a fictional show involving the supernatural doesn’t mean she believes it is reality. Hell, I run D&D and World of Darkness games all the times with all sorts of supernatural creatures, even with heavily moralizing, but I don’t actually believe a bit of it is reality.
Also, Monica Bellucci and Eva Green being on this list makes me happy. Michael Riggs
sometimes, ghost whisperer is very scary specially when she see those ghots.~.* Alex Long
For balance surely you must now publish the hottest female theist list?

You definitely need to watch the “manwomanmyth” series. I saw you claiming in your lengthy apologize that women haven’t reached equality bla bla bla.
If you actually believe that, then you’re ignorant. If you were saying it just to please the people who were calling you names and shaming you into apologizing for a healthy human activity (being sexually attracted to people)… then you need to grow up and stand up for yourself. Women have always had the upper-hand… What more proof do you want that they can pressure you into censoring your own self, and kowtowing to their every whim and request?
Does a man have the ability to pressure women to mold around his insecurities? Do we go to female hosted blogs and demand they stop posting “cutie lists” of successful and famous men because it makes us insecure? Do we complain that women consistently vote men based on height, because it offends us normal height guys? Do we complain about women and how they love success objects (famous, successful men)? Alek
Alek,
I watched a few videos, but I’m not sure I follow. Are you saying that because there is often prejudice against men, too, therefore women have achieved equality?
Also, remember I explained in my apology post why posting lists of sexy women is more harmful than posting lists of sexy men. You have not engaged that argument.
Finally, your questions seem to assume I hold positions I do not hold. For example, I do not hold that it makes much sense for women to complain that men are attracted to certain types of females. That is largely biological. No amount of ‘enculturation’ is going to make it the case that a fat woman with uneven eyes can put my cock into ‘ready’ mode. lukeprog
“”"Are you saying that because there is often prejudice against men, too,”"”
We’re not talking about prejudice… You obviously didn’t watch much or read much of it. Men have been treated as lower human beings with lower value for eons.
By default, by birth, a man is given less value than a woman. Its only WHEN and IF a man succeeds that he’s given value. A man who fails in the rat-race is disposable, and if he dies, “who cares, its a man”. Nobody cares when they pass a homeless man, a homeless woman? Oh wow, that’s sad!
The way the hierarchy in our society looks like is THIS… Imagine a pyramid, with 1-being the top of the pyramid…
1) Alpha Males – High Status Men (10% of men)
2) Alpha Female of High Status (5% of women)
3) Beta Females (90% of women)
4) Beta males (90%) of men
5) Extremely unattractive women (5% of women)
Every theory on the supposed inequality of women is based on the notion of IGNORING 90% of the male population. They’re comparing apples and oranges since they compare alpha males with beta females. They’re comparing a CEO with a secretary. But not a secretary with homeless man, a plumber, a sewage system worker or “unemployed loser” as they like to call a big part of men.
When women use the word “men”, they’re not talking about people with an “m” on their id. When women say “men”, they mean high-status males.
THE ENTIRE BOTTOM OF THE SOCIETY BARELL is inhabited by MEN… The homeless are men, the dead and injured are men, the depressed and suicidal are men, the “losers” and unemployed are men. Thing is, men either succeed really well, or fail really hard. Most men FAIL hard. Women exist in the middle between “losers” i.e. most men, and winner (few men).
In any social room you go into, there’s 1 guy who has more sex than all the other men in the room combined. The woman sees him and says what? “Oh its unfair MEN can get laid anytime they want, yet I am shamed and guilt-ed and bla bla”… All the while she’s blind to all the other biological males in the room she doesn’t even register, who can’t even get laid.
“”therefore women have achieved equality?”"”
We’re not there yet. Women still have superiority. You see all this whining and ruckus since women are starting to become equal, and they hate it.
For eons they have been protected from equality since men had to do endure all the pain, all the hard work and take all the responsibilities. Women were shielded from bad emotions, risk and danger.
Hence the vile reaction to your post. A lot of these women want to succeed in science, not by gritting their teeth and succeeding despite criticism, obstacles and harsh enviroment (which is what mean defeat to succeed)… These women want to succeed by being protected from boo-boos. That’s superiority, not equality.
Who protects you when people make fun of you when you try to succeed? Who protect you from all the criticism and pain that you endure when you want to rise up in ranks? No one, because you’re a man, and you’re expected to “man up” and deal with it.
Just see what happened to you when you dared treat women as equal. You were put back down in your place and guilted into treating women as superrior and a special class protected from bad emotions.
Now that women are getting equality, they whine about it, since they compare it not to what men have, but what they used to have, which was protection. A woman will try to become say (a president) and run into a bunch of vile criticism… and then whine about being criticized and attacked (even though a male still goes through 10x more criticism and pain to succeed).
A woman is so used to being treated like a child and with special privilege, that when she starts getting treated like a man (like a grown up), she think she’s treated badly. No, welcome to our world, you’re going through what we had to go through for thousands of years… pain, effort, risk taking, criticism.
Men don’t become successful because someone hands them success (oh, you have a dick, here, be our president). About 99% of men fail in the rat-race… A few men are persistent enough to deal with all the pain, crap and problems along the way to the top… and then they make it… And then a woman says he made it because he’s a guy. Well yeah, he had enough testosterone to deal with all the pain and suffering that success takes. Successful men are consistently shown to have more testosterone than less successful men. alek
Damn, Luke… could you at least email me that photo of Asia Argento… she looks exactly like a Czech girl I once knew…. (she had blonde hair though)… TimD
Heh. lukeprog
