Hollywood once eschewed making movies that openly advocated atheism. That is no longer the case.
"The Ledge" is the latest in a series of recent Hollywood films that actively promote atheism. Director Matthew Chapman hopes that his movie will be the "'Brokeback Mountain' moment for atheists."

I hope it’s not a brokeback mountain, praised only by liberals, disgusting half the population.
How do you make a movie about nothing and then promote nothing?
A movie about sexually confused atheists?
It is bigotry masquerading as art and stupidity masquerading as complexity.
Ask Jerry Seinfield.
Oh, standard Hollywood fare then.
Because atheists are all so happy.
“’Brokeback Mountain’ moment for atheists.”
How appropriate...I hear everyone’s reaction at “the moment” in the movie was, “EEEEWWWWWWWWW!!!!”
Colonel, USAFR
*the latest in a series of recent Hollywood films that actively promote atheism*
How does this differ from 97% of the movies Hollywood has turned out in the last 40 years?
All right. A short film of someone running around with their head up their ass. Just put a day or two of BHO on a dvd. Call it “Brokeback Barry Sees The Light”
LOL
Great response.
I figured it wouldn’t be so much as promoting atheism or even explaining atheism to the ignorant, but attacking Christianity (note Christianity, not Islam, that would take balls).
I CAN’T QUIT YOU, GOD!....er...wait..I already did? whu?
Hold on, wasn’t this basic plot already used in one of the episodes of Stephen King’s “Cat’s Eye”? Without the crazy religious undertones.
It’s not even original. Sheesh.
Do yourself a favor. Don’t watch “Paul”. After the first 20 minutes or so, it is a non-stop “let’s make fun of Christians” fest. They only take the occasional break from that theme, only to make fun of rednecks, local gun-toting cops, and neo-fascist FBI agents.
Least creative, yet most inane, movie ever.
That’s the summary, eh? I’m not even surprised. Why don’t they just insert the fag angle just to make it complete.
It's the exact same plot as the Stephen King short story of the same name, with the mob boss character replaced by an evangelical.
I really don’t want to imagine an “Atheistback Mountain” poster with the rather primate-face Apple Computer atheist Steve Wozniak and amoral Facebook owner atheist Mark Zuckerberg.
Or with any other assorted mix of other atheists, such as Noam Chomsky, Richard Dawkins, David Suzuki, or Warren Buffet.
