9. Billy Joel
Billy Joel is one of the best-sold solo artists in the US, and he has been performing for exactly half a century. The Golden anniversary hasn’t softened his beliefs on atheism, and his Jewish and Catholic upbringing didn’t manage to snatch him for themselves. He is definitely an atheist and this part of the quote of his proves it: “… I gradually decided that just because I didn’t have or couldn’t find the ultimate answer, didn’t mean that I was going to buy the religious fairy tale. As an atheist, you have to rationalize things.”
