Atheist movie coming out in New York and Los Angeles

This doesn't exactly sound like an "atheist movie" as in an attempt to evangelize and convert people to atheism from the summary:

The article is based more on that it has an atheist hero who is portrayed positively, which is different. Not exactly the first such movie either. Nor are any of the cast members outspoken atheists or anything like that. Just the media in search of a story.

For a real atheist movie, look to that Bill Maher documentary Religulous from 2008, which was pretty entertaining but also kind of preachy and thus hypocritical as a result.

I think a lot of people, including many non-religious, associate atheism with this: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HollywoodAtheist

A big factor being that's what the most well known and vocal atheists are, like Richard Dawkins. An atheist who isn't all that bitter and doesn't preach about won't be seen as a big atheist. Hence why the term is kind of tainted.

This movie is running at a miserable 12% on Rotten Tomatoes, and bombed this weekend making only about $2000 a theater. It made about as much per theater as Bridesmaids despite that movie being out almost two months and in 500x as many theaters. It's going nowhere.
