In 2015, [[Richard Dawkins]] published a YouTube video where he told an obviously overweight Daniel Dennett who recently had coronary artery bypass surgery, "It is amazing seeing you so fit...". Sad!
Given Conservapedia's dedication to providing information that is as accurate as possible, I'm sure that someone in control of this article will make the necessary corrections. Thanks in advance. --[[User:Tylero|Tylero]] 16:54, 6 January 2011 (EST)
::::Fixed. I wrote: While many [[Western World|Western]] atheists are non-religious, not all non-religious people are atheists. I did this to avoid the contentious debate on whether Western atheism is a religion. I believe it can be easily argued that Western atheism is a religion and that is probably going to be incorporated in the atheism article at a future date.

User: JamesTimmons, the article has been expanded and now looks at regional data (irreligious countries), generational data and a number of studies related to religion/irreligion obesity/health/behavior (self-discipline, etc.). In addition, the list of notable atheists who are overweight/obese has been greatly expanded. There is now an embarrassment of riches showing that the atheist/irreligious population has a significant problem with obesity/excess weight.[[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 11:08, 2 March 2019 (EST)
== The elephant in the room ==
I just read through nearly half of this article and fact-checked every claim it made, and there wasn't so much as one single error. To whoever the authors are, this is quite the article!--[[User:AnthonyDW|AnthonyDW]] 18:27, 19 January 2011 (EST)
:[[Martin Luther]], the founder of Protestantism, tacked his 95 thesis onto the doors of the Castle Church in Wittenberg. Conservapedia has its list of 82 prominent overweight/obese atheists plus it provided multiple lines of evidence that the atheist population has a significant problem of obesity within its ranks!!!!! These 82 prominent atheists are prominent both in stature within the atheists population and prominent in girth as well! And this is despite the fact that atheists have no holiday season that features eggnog and cookies. [[User:Wikignome72|Wikignome72]] ([[User talk:Wikignome72|talk]]) 04:31, 25 December 2019 (EST)

While I feel obesity is a Western culture phenom, there are many more examples of obese atheists to add. Try a search for celebrity atheists and you'll be quite surprised. --[[User:Jpatt|Jpatt]] 22:31, 20 April 2011 (EDT)
:As the East gains more access to processed food via global markets and gains in prosperity, obesity is spreading to the East as can be seen in this report on India.[http://hindu.com./2007/10/12/stories/2007101260940600.htm] However, unlike atheists, Christians have lots of songs including dance music. Indian Christian dancers seem to be fairly immune to obesity.

== Relation to obesity ==
::::'''PHARISEES:''' One way the Pharisees attacked Jesus was by calling him a glutton. Do you think they were right or justified to do so? How do your accusations of gluttony, used to attack atheists and homosexuals, differ from the Pharisees' attacks on Jesus, if at all? What do you think was the Pharisees' basis for being against gluttony? Would it have been scriptural? Would it have been justified? How would it have differed, if at all, from your own scriptural basis? Is it possible that you have followed the same process as the Pharisees in arriving at your own views about gluttony?--[[User:CPalmer|CPalmer]] 08:16, 3 July 2012 (EDT)
CPalmer, the Mosaic diet does not lead to obesity.

:As far as the sin of gluttony, it is a sin. A sin is a big deal to God. That is why Jesus dies on the cross. And unrepentant sinners will go to Hell.

==Article Structure==
:::Second, there is a London, England atheist who is a liar and also obsessed with me. He is proud, angry, coarse and immature. Tomque's pattern of atheism related talk page edits directed towards me, his use of the fallacy of exclusion (which this London atheist often employs), his most recent coarse edit (which I oversighted) combined with his IP address, points to him being this London atheist.

Ricky Gervais has been known to be highly critical of religion as well as a strong atheist. He is also somewhat...portly. He would make a good addition to this page. [[User:JohnSelway|JohnSelway]] ([[User talk:JohnSelway|talk]]) 00:49, 8 December 2015 (EST)
:I don't think he is portly enough. And because people are creatures of habit and he is in his 50s, chances are he will never be portly. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 08:55, 8 December 2015 (EST)
== Godless and obese Britain is taking desperate measures ==
Godless [[Britain]] is building 10 special new "healthy towns", comprising of 76,000+ homes, in a desperate attempt to tackle its [[sloth]] and [[gluttony]] caused [[obesity]] crisis.[http://mashable.com/2016/03/01/nhs-healthy-towns/#kcdfjApBfZq7] See: [[United Kingdom and obesity]]
