he's gonna take you back to the past, to discover the religions that sucked a**
he's the atheistest gamer i have ever heard, he's the atheist video game nerd.
he's the angry anti-Christianity, catholic, Jew nerd
he's the angry atheist nerd
that would actually make for a fun little series.
the 'nerd looking into a religion in each video, getting angry over it. swearing. finding various contradictions. how each religion is frustrating to make sense of.
would love to see that.
what a fantastic spin-off series that would be.
to make it even more hilarious, he could have it set in a religious/holy setting.
with the main conductor of it all (be it a priest or rabbi or pope or whatever) the one up front talking about religion. similar to how when the 'nerd does a video game, he cuts to the video game footage.
who else is with me on this? i thinda0k it would be hilarious. -

I think he was probably raised Christian and i5b4s either still a Christian or Agnostic.

Agnosticism is the view that the truth value of certain claimsespecially claims about the existence or non-existence of any deity, but also other religious and metaphysical claimsis unknown or unknowable.

I don't think there's an actual middle ground here, though. Either he believes or he do not; either he is an atheist or he isn't. Agnosticism is a quite seperate matter. You can be an agnostic believer and you can be an agnostic atheist.

I don't see why it would be such a big deal if he is, coming from myself as an Episcopalian Christian who finds his videos extremely entertaining, and I'm a believer of Christ (out of personal choice, even though my upbringing did have something to do with it) I really don't care about the religious beliefs of my favorite celebrities. Hell, even though I'm an Episcopalian, I'm a fan of Tom Cruise as an actor, and Tom Cruise is an outspoken Scientologist. My favorite actor is Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and he's Jewish. An athelete I admire is Muhammad Ali, and he's Muslim. My favorite comedian is George Carlin, who was raised Roman Catholic, but became an outspoken athiest until the day he died.
However, just for the hell of it, I guess I'll at least try to guess, and make an educated guess, for that matter. I remember back in 2007, shortly after discovering the Nerd after watching his Top Gun NES review (which was my first Nerd video) and I came upon his website, Cinemassacre.com. Now, of course, Cinemassacre has changed and has been redesigned quite a few times since 2007, so it is very possible that this particular article I'm going to talk about doesn't exist anymore, but I remember reading about his experiences as a filmmaker, and he got to this one part when he talked about a film he did when he was in grade school for his World History class, doing a report about famous inventors, and he chose to do his on Galileo, and he mentioned that his family is mostly of Italian descent.
Now, from my experience of people who come from countries in the Romantic language group (i.e. French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian) and their American (in Mr. Rolfe's case) descendants, and most people I know who have Romantic ancestries were born, baptized, and raised Roman Catholic by their parents. I could be wrong, since I don't know the man personally, but that would be the most likely conclusion.
However, he once put up a blog post on Cinemassacre talki238ng about how he has nothing to do with the ads on his site (he was getting criticized by people for having ads relating to the Church of Scientology on Cinemassacre) and he said that he has just noticed them and was working hard to remove them, since he tries to remove ads that have anything to do with religion or politics from his site. He could be any religion, and yet chooses to keep his religious beliefs private. He may be an Internet celebrity and make a very entertaining show about video games that I enjoy, but even I think he's entitled to have a private 5b4life as well.
So, I think we should stop talking about whether he's an athiest or not and just sit back, relax, and enjoy some Nerd vidoes while us Nerd fans wait patiently for the upcoming Angry Video Game Nerd movie.

Indeed. His beliefs, or non-beliefs, really shouldn't matter. And he does try to keep such matters out of it, which I respect. I don't think he wants to offend anyone.
Well, come to think of it, though, Super Mecha Death Christ 2000 BC Version 4.0 Beta probably offends many a Christian.
