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.
|
I disagree, a character being atheist could definitely add to a show in an interesting manner:
Take The Big Bang Theory for instance. Sheldon being an atheist would create an interesting/comical strain with his relationship with his mother or any other 'regular' people that he meets.

The same conflict could be caused by making him a converted Muslim or Jew. Then you'd have that conflict and more related to that particular religion.
Additionally, seems a bit weird course for a TV show to take.
