Who's your favourite atheist?

Christopher Hitchens or Bertrand Russell for me.
Russell for his intellect and writings, Hitchens for his panache.
"Great spirits have often encountered violent opposition from weak minds."
Einstein
When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down happy. They told me I didn't understand the assignment. I told them they didn't understand life.

That's easy, me. I look in the mirror every morning as say to myself "who's your favorite atheist, you are!"
Live every day as if already dead, that way you're not disappointed when you are.

Me. And any atheist who fights against attempts to force religion into government.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

Who is my favorite atheist?
Me, of course!
'The difference between a Miracle and a Fact is exactly the difference between a mermaid and seal. It could not be expressed better.'
-- Samuel "Mark Twain" Clemens
"I think that in the discussion of natural problems we ought to begin not with the scriptures, but with experiments, demonstrations, and observations".
- Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)
"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else! "
