I’ve come to really respect this man. At first I simply saw a comedian. But he’s a bright and insightful person, and very well spoken.

[Duhble]

Ricky Gervais’ precision is breathtaking. He’s a scientist in comedic clothing, and that is so so rare.

I grew up Mormon. I'm nearly 39 and just recently left the religion. I'm upset that I bought into it for so long but happy to be done with it and any religion.

Born in the U.S. here... Spring of 1981, and I thank my parents every day of my life for NOT indoctrinating my brother, my sister, and I with any ridiculous belief in a book of fairy tales.
Wish they were still here.
R.I.P., Mom and Dad... I will never see you again... but I will remember you until I can no longer be seen...

I'm 75yoa, when I was 9 yoa, in church with my school for the Harvest Festival service, listening to the vicar's ridiculous sermon, I distinctly remember thinking, what a load of absolute bollocks, still do, thank you, you're welcome.

If you show this to a religious audience, they're gonna threaten him with eternal torture after death without addressing the things he's saying, which furthermore proves his point to why religion is bad for society

If everybody had the same mindset as Ricky on this subject, the world would be a much nicer place.

I remember when I was about 7, my Sunday school teacher telling me I’d burn in a lake of fire for eternity if I was a sinner. Scared me to death. I look back on it as child abuse. I’ve never taken any of my three children to church. Never even entered my mind.

Science has questions that may never be answered, religion has answers that may never be questioned

This man is an inspiration. He helps me put all the bs to one side. No joke, people like him make me want to keep on living. He puts things in the right order, when most just cant or dont want to.... he goes from the beginning " you are born an atheist" and "most of the good believers- they cherry-pick" and "how is it that everyone is born into the right religion, isn't that lucky".
So casually said, but it digs deep and is so true. Keeps me sane and helps me feel like im not alone amongst the hordes of crazy people.
Its hard to stay strong when everyone around tries to make you weak, but people who carry the true word, must soldier on, for they are the only hope our species has, and im a patriot, a patriot to the human race. One love.

For a comedian who mostly makes dark humour jokes (which are hilarious), Ricky Gervais is actually incredibly smart and well spoken, never thought he had such a way with words.

[Carlo_Amico]

I had a catholic upbringing. I was forced by my parents to go to church every sunday morning. And then around the age of eleven it suddenly happened during a talk of the priest, I stood up and walked away from the church. At that point in time I wasn't influenced by anyone, as It was long before the internet. But as that young boy I just knew something was off with religions. It's all about power and fear, even though they all preach that you should love one another.

I admire the Ricky Gervais thinking and speak. He finds essential questions about life.

[martinurbani]

Straight to the point, no mental gymnastics needed. I like it and I resonate with what he says.

[thedoctor]

When I was studying for my communion, every class is think ‘this makes no sense’ and I would question it and my teacher would get mad or just say ‘it’s about faith’ but that never sat right with me. My 8 year old brain couldn’t fathom grown people believing this and I still don’t.

[bruscifer]

Ricky is proof that all great comedians have brilliant minds!

[MisplacedTrust]

Thank you Ricky, you give us a voice, one of reason that we know the world needs.

[charliebrown]

Love how Ricky puts his opinion across without being disrespectful 🖖🖖

I've been an Atheist as long as I can remember, even before I knew the word for it and if anyone else was like me. To me religion is a blanket of safety for some and others a means to justify their crimes against people.
