Malachy McCourt: Actor, Author & Atheist Evangelist

Malachy McCourt is an Irish-American actor, author, humorist and an outspoken and happy atheist. He has appeared in many movies, including “The Molly Maguires” and “Brewster’s Millions.” He also portrayed a priest every Christmas on the soap opera “All My Children.” McCourt has acted in the plays “Inherit The Wind,” “Love Letters” and “A Couple Of Blaggards,” which he co-wrote with his older brother, the acclaimed author Frank McCourt ("Angela’s Ashes"). Among the many adventures he recounts in his interview is running as the 2006 Green Party candidate for New York governor. His books include "Death Need Not Be Fatal," which asks: “What’s so great about the Great Beyond?”

“I’m an atheist, and on Sundays, I’m a pagan because I believe in everything,” McCourt tells “Freethought Matters” co-hosts Dan Barker and Annie Laurie Gaylor tongue partly in cheek. “I believe in the sunshine, I believe in the moon, the beauty of clouds, stars, I believe in love. And I don't need a God or any kind of deity to give me love.”
