RE: Favorite Atheist Author
Are they the only four options? I suspect you're going to want to put an 'other' section in there...

Out of those four, it's Hitchens by far. I can imagine his voice while reading his stuff which already gives him a clear advantage over the other three.

Those were the four I could think of off the top of my head if anyone has someone else in mind they can list them in the comments.

I can only say Hitchen's as i've only read his book (God is not great) out of the 4 options so far at least.

I have watched debates by Dawkins and Harris though, and I find Harris is very good at explaining his ideas and is always very calm when talking whereas I find Dawkins a little less eloquent personally..
Kind Regards,

Mine would be Philip Pullman. His Dark Materials is still a big fave of mine, and I read it at least once a year.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
