hmm, sounds like religious atheist. count me out.
I put it quotes for a reason. Look, the rationalist/atheist movement is a "very tiny, tiny, tiny fraction" of the energy of the religious movements out there, even the wacko fundamentalist ones. While I, in essence, agree with all the comments in this thread (and, find this forum to be vastly superior to the online stuff from the atheist "greats" out there), still, I think that it is a good thing that organizations such as American Atheists exist and that they have an outreach program to believers who are considering trashing their bullshit beliefs.
By the way, I would have come to atheism a long time ago if the Internet had existed back in the '80s. "If I only knew then what I know now..." is what I tell those few individuals who are interested in why I deconverted.
P.S. I should have put "leaders" in quotations as well! Thanks everyone for pointing that error out to me.
