The UN-Chosen One...

I laughed when I read that more Americans were planning to boycott the new Harry Potter film now that Daniel Radcliffe has come out as an Atheist. Gee, I wonder where they got that information - their tv from China, their computer from Microsoft?

Better be careful, those godless vibes will be projected quite strongly from cinema screens, showering the audience with heathenish thoughts and rays of pure evil!

Good on him anyway, I only wish politicians had the balls to do the same thing, then we wouldn't have all that religious bias weighing down on equal rights, health and freedoms issues.

I should be going to see the film next week. I didn't read the books (a little long winded (not Stephanie Meyer long winded, but still :P)) but I have enjoyed the films. And Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint did some excellent interviews on Rove last night.

More Americans? Did we americans boycott it before? The only people I knew about where the peope that are like "ohhh no witchcraft!" I had a boss that wouldn't watch it cause of that reason. *rolls eyes*
Who cares what his religion, beliefs ect are?? His work should speak for itself! I'm not going to stop watching Tom Cruise or John Travolttat's movies or boycott them because I don't agree with Scientology.

Just wanna say I'm american but I'm not that stupid!

What's funny is they're boycotting the movie b/c he's an Atheist, but they can completely overlook the fact that the whole story is about witchcraft!

I will be going to see it because I have a girl-crush on Emma Watson. Actually, not so much of a crush as I want to be her. She is totally awesome.

hehe. I forget how seriously Americans take religion (I mean generally as a nation, not as individuals - I'm sure lots of you are quite sane!). The news that Daniel Radcliffe is an atheist didn't even make news here (until you mentioned it I had no idea, but I've just googled it and a couple of papers casually mentioned it). I think we'd be more shocked if he came out as a christian. We really don't feel comfortable talking about religion!

Actually, I saw this poll that the bbc did once and 80% of Brits find talking about God uncomfortable.
