The Atheist Movement.

[robvalue]

I call such guys "prommers" (prominent atheists). As with everyone, I take away the useful parts of what they say, and discard the rest. It doesn't matter to me who is saying it, except when deferring to a qualified person in a particular field of expertise.

Religion is really stupid and often harmful. Education, rational thought and morality are the main weapons against its stranglehold, in my opinion. In an extremely vague sense, this is a "movement" I suppose, which I stand up for. I am glad for anyone who does so. It's a war of ideas, as Sam Harris would put it. Especially in the areas of the world where religion runs unchecked and "radicals" (people who actually take religion seriously) are abundent, it's never going to end until the underlying attitude changes.

Part of this "movement" is shattering the ridiculous preconceptions many people have about atheists, and stopping them being persecuted.
