The site lists well-known people who are atheist, agnostic or “ambiguous”, each category divided into an easy-to-use A to Z, and I had loads of fun looking through some of the entries.
Though many of the entries aren’t likely to surprise you – Woody Allen, Russell T Davies, Richard Dawkins, for example – there are many others who might.
One of my favourite entertainers is Terry Wogan, who is listed on the site in the ambiguous category. Reading his entry reminded me of the time a few years back when he was the guest on BBC Radio Four’s Desert Island Discs. When asked what book, together with the Bible, he’d like to take with him on his fictional desert island, he replied that he’d definitely not be taking the Bible.

We welcome lively and challenging comments. However, please try to stay on topic, be polite and do not use abusive, racist or sexist language, and do not incite your readers to violence or other antisocial behaviour, or your comment will be deleted. This isn't censorship: it's a case of staying within the bounds of decency and having an eye to the law, although we realise the law will be different in different countries.
We do not bar anonymous comments at the moment, but we would prefer that those commenting play fair and use their name or at least a regular nom de plume. It does show a confidence in your convictions. We know, too, that it's easy to use a false name and be effectively anonymous, but, again, we appeal to your sense of good practice. Even a wacky nom de plume is better, since at least readers will come to know that contributor and maybe remember her or his previous comments.
Blatant commercial advertising will be removed.
Comments should not be construed as necessarily the policy or opinion of the Pink Triangle Trust.
