Actor and director Rajat Kapoor is a self-proclaimed atheist who does not believe in heaven or hell. In an interview, he said, “I think God is a totally man-made concept that has been more harmful than beneficial to mankind.

In his book "The Grand Design," theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking dismissed the notion that God created universe. He wrote, "Spontaneous creation is the reason why there is something rather than nothing, why the universe exists, why we exist. It is not necessary to invoke God to light the blue touch paper and set the universe going."
