 And where the hell are the Muslims on TV?

There is quite a popular show in Canada that is centred on a Muslim family - Little Mosque on the Prairie. It's pretty good, too.

I have to agree, though, atheists are grossly under-represented in television. A good writer would no doubt be able to make an interesting openly atheist character.

An interseting openly atheist character sure... but a charcter who was interesting because he was atheist?  Not  likely the case.   There just isn't anything you can do with atheism.

While I'm not saying that atheists are under-represented on TV (because personally I couldn't care) I disagree that atheism can't be interesting in a character. Have you seen Bones at all?
