Former Golden Globes host Ricky Gervais is known for his in-your-face sense of humor. His approach to atheism is much of the same—the humanist comedian is known for trolling Twitter to express his lack of faith spiritually, often getting into acerbic, long-winded arguments with religious fans. His belief also extends to his work—The Invention of Lying, which he stars in and directed, has his character inventing a religion (re: “lying”) in order to ease his mother’s fear of dying.
