Atheists and Christians: what is your favorite genre of books or movies?

Question

Just curious if there's a major difference. Please put which group you belong to.

Answer 1

Atheist: Most genres! I love realistic fiction. Fantasy isn't really my cup of tea though, although I love Harry Potter. I'm such a dork. I love reading about nutrition as well, if that's a genre...

Answer 2

I'm a Christian.....and some of my favorite books are "The Holy Bible", "Glory of the Stars- A Study of the Zodiac" by E. Raymond Capt, anything by Anne Rice & science fiction books. I also enjoy reading books on dream interpretation & Native Americans. I'm what you call a "reading junkie"; I devour(read)any kind of book or magazine I can get my hands on(except 'romance'); so, I enjoy all different types & genres of books.....biographies, textbooks, educational books, etc.....those above are just a few faves of mine & what I've read recently. Did I mention that I don't like 'romance' books? I think they're so boring!



I'm also starting to read & like the author 'Connie Willis' who writes science fiction; I'm almost finished with her book named "Impossible Things". The book I read before that, and I loved, was "Abduction" by Rodman Philbric and Lynn Harnett.



My favorite movie genre is horror; coming in a close 2nd as my fave, or maybe it ties, is 'comedy'. I love 'Halloween' & all it's sequels; I'm a huge Alfred Hitchcock fan. I also love the movie called "The Labyrinth". I enjoy all the "National Lampoons Vacation" movies w/ Chevy Chase & Beverly D'Angelo, "The Breakfast Club", "Pretty In Pink" & all the other 'Brat Pack' movies. I'm going to see "Drag Me To Hell" today!

Answer 3

My favorite genre of books is... anything and everything except for romance. I love the classics, love reading anything from Classical Antiquity, love poetry, love non-fiction (especially when it includes Roman history or true crime), adore thrillers (Dean Koontz is one of my favorite authors), and love sci-fi and fantasy (love Isaac Asimov, Piers Anthony, Robert Heinlein, George Orwell, H.G. Wells, Aldous Huxley, J.R.R. Tolkien...).



As for movies, I prefer the classics (Casablanca, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Gone With the Wind, Cleopatra with Elizabeth Taylor, and anything with Boris Karloff, like The Climax, are some of my favorites). I also love Alfred Hitchcock movies, like Rear Window and North by Northwest. And then I like comedies and parodies like Date Movie and Talledega Nights, as well as foreign films like Le Pacte de Loups, Life is Beautiful, Pan's Labyrinth, and Amelie. Also love Pink Floyd's The Wall, LOTR, Star Wars, and Dazed and Confused.



I guess I'm pretty eclectic? I'm a Christian.

Answer 5

I'm an atheist. I hate books of all kinds, but when it comes to movies, I've always favored comedy, black comedy, and any form of movie with driving/cars being a main part.

Answer 6

I like novels of ideas and satiric writing. For example, Kurt Vonnegut, Ayn Rand, David Sedaris, Augusten Burroughs, etc.

Answer 7

i am Christian and I love science and fiction movies. Still i got no doubt and confusions between creation and evolution. Always clear! God created the earth. man discovered the theory of evolution.
