This note was deleted for allegedly being a promotion of religion. Howver, this is not a promotion of religion. This is just stating consensus by historians.

** The degree of Sheldon's irreligion and views on God seem to be this. While it's clear that he doesn't share his mother's Christian beliefs, he seems to vary between atheism, agnosticism, apatheism and even acknowledging God and/or Jesus' existence at times. In ''Young Sheldon'', he is much more vocal about his lack of belief, likely due to growing up in the highly religious state of Texas, whereas in ''The Big Bang Theory'', he lives in the more secular state of California.

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: In regards to his ability to keep a secret at least. Despite claiming that he simply can't keep a secret, this isn't actually true and instead he has a very complicated view on the subject. On the one hand, it is shown often that being told that he needs to keep something a secret causing him to act even more odd and go to extreme lengths to avoid telling it. He also fixates on the possibility of someone asking him something that relates to the secret, even when told that nobody will ask him about it. On the other hand, it's often shown that if keeping secrets is tied to some sort of contract (real or imagined by him) he's able to keep it hidden and resist worrying about revealing it. ''Young Sheldon'' also showed that confessing to Tam helped him deal with the anxiety about keeping a secret from Mary, suggesting that he simply need to tell the secret to anyone to get it out of his system. He's also able to keep secrets if it's something he already knows, as opposed to being told or finding out, which mean he can certainly lie to others about that.

** In one ChristmasEpisode, Sheldon has gotten a large number of gift baskets for Penny in order to prepare for whatever gift she gives him. His plan is to give her the gift basket equivalent to the gift she gives him, then returns the rest. When she reveals that her gift is a [[MeaningfulGift napkin signed by]] Creator/LeonardNimoy, he gives her '''''all''''' of the gift baskets, and declares it's not enough. He then offers her a sincere and heartfelt hug.
** In another episode, Sheldon guilts Penny into giving up her place on a trip with Leonard to Switzerland to see the Large Hadron Collider. Sheldon gives her a hug. This actually causes him to miss out on the trip, because Penny was already carrying a flu bug, and Sheldon caught it from her. Sheldon and Penny are stuck together on Valentine's Day, while Leonard ended up having to take Raj to Switzerland.

* HiddenDepths: Sheldon proves to be surprisingly understanding and helpful when hearing about his friends' love problems. He also knows a lot about football, though it's only because his father always made him watch the games as a child, rather than out of his own interest; plus he grew up in Texas, where he mentions that football is inescapable there. Also thanks to his father he is apparently a crack shot with both a bow and a gun. Due to his upbringing, he is also a skilled ballroom dancer and archer. At times, he seems to know more than the other guys about proper social interaction, but he is ''that'' selfish and he's ''very'' poor at applying it to real-life situations.

** In the episode "The Excelsior Acquisition", Sheldon is fined for driving without a license and running a red light to get Penny to the hospital for her fractured arm from the episode "The Adhesive Duck Deficiency". While Sheldon stubbornly refuses to accept he was guilty of the crime and pay the fine, he was right to be angry at Penny, because the ordeal was her own fault for denying responsibility for the ticket on her car and throwing him under the bus so she herself wouldn't get into trouble.
