I wanted to know your guys' thoughts on Neil, because I have a very different view of him than many other atheists might have.
I believe that he is a great scientist and is really smart, however his attitudes towards atheism are very cowardly. In the video below he makes many cringe worthy statements. For example at around the 25 second mark he calls atheism a philosophy and claims that with it comes baggage. He also is extremely ignorant when it comes to the terms atheism and agnosticism.
I think it is time that we completely disassociate him from the atheism movement, because that is what he wants us to do.
