No, Ross Geller is not an atheist. He's a Paleontology professor and as such teaches evolution, but this does not mean he does not believe in God.

Ross and her sister Monica are of Jewish ethnicity, and even if they are not particularly religious, he has demonstrated on at least one occasion that he was strongly in favor of Jewish cultural customs, such as Hanukkah. It is most likely that he believes in a God, but how far is not completely clear.

Who is Ross Geller?

Ross Geller, Ph.D. was a major character in Friends, an NBC sit-com series from 1994 to 2004. He was performed by David Schwimmersion. Ross Geller was born and raised in Long Island, NYC, to Jack and Judy Geller. He's Monica's older sibling.

He is best known for his geeky personality and his very odd sense of humor, a bit like Saved By The Bell's Screech, or Beverly Hills' David, 90210. Although intellectually clever and able to be polite, considerate, and kind, Ross is often awkward, hypersensitive, and socially clumsy - to take the characteristics of the stereotyped "loser nerd".

Ross also has a dry, sarcastic, witty sense of humor second to none but Chandler's. He is the only member of the group of friends with a doctoral degree and, as such, may be arrogant. In most cases, his arrogance turns around or grabs the upper hand. His arrogance and self-centered attitude are probably also the result of his education, as his parents often exaggerate everything about him.

How many kids does Ross have?

Ross is the father of two children, Ben and Emma. Ben is his son with his former wife Carol and Emma is his daughter with Rachel. Ross is a very caring and dedicated father who does everything in his power to ensure that children are treated well.

Ben Geller

Ben is the son of Ross and Carol. He was conceived before they divorced each other. Ben lives with Carol and her beloved, Susan. His name comes from Phoebe's janitor uniform while attempting to escape from the janitor's closet in which she, Susan and Ross were trapped during Carol's work. In the beginning, Ben is a timid boy, but one afternoon spent with Rachel turns him into a playful joker. Ben Geller was portrayed by Cole Sprouse.

Emma Geller-Green

Emma is Ross and Rachel's girl. She was conceived as an overnight adventure towards the end of season 7. Emma lived with Ross and Rachel until they had an argument which made Rachel go to Joey's house with Emma. She stayed there until the end of the show until Ross and Rachel reunited in the final of the series.

How many girls did Ross date in Friends?

Ross Geller is mostly known as one half of the most iconic couple in Friends. However, Rachel wasn't the only girlfriend Ross had in the series. In ten seasons Ross consorted with 12 women, and he married three. Rachel, Julie, Carol, Mona, Emily, Charlie, Cheryl, Bonnie, Janie, Chloe, Elizabeth, and Jill, are Ross' girlfriends.

Something of a loveable goofball, Ross's numerous ordeals and tribulations in the world of romance have been an important part of what has made the spectacle so relatable and rewatchable. Whereas Ross was compatible with many of his girlfriends, there were a few that were inappropriate.
