There is a long history of scholarship in religion and film. One of the omissions of such studies is related to “others” of religion, particularly atheism. Most handbooks on religion and film do not deal substantially with atheism, but this chapter examines how atheism and atheists are represented in (primarily American) films. This is important, because our “common sense” understanding of atheism and attitudes towards atheists are partly conducted by fictional images and narratives we encounter. Such a topic also provides material for rethinking the mediatization of religion more generally. The investigation demonstrates that representations of atheism and atheists have become more common in recent films and they have become more positive. However, even somewhat positive representations contain several stereotypes. While atheists are not “pathologized”, they are represented as different from the rest of the population. In other words, an ideal or typical citizen is still moderately religious in mainstream (American) cinema. Thus, this study challenges the idea that mediatization favours atheism.
