The Atheist Movement.

[Jehanne]

I get the impression having just listened to the entire "Moving Naturalism Forward" conference (first day episode here):


that they (our "leaders") do not get along with each other very well and may not even like each other.

Thoughts?

So...

I listened to more than half of this on my way home, and not once did I get the impression that they were not getting along, or showing any sort of dislike for each other.

I heard plenty of disagreement, which is expected, given the complex and controversial subjects they are discussing. Quite a few friendly jibes, but nothing that I head that sounds like dislike.

And I will reiterate. None of these, or other prominent atheists are my leaders. I respect them based on the content of their words, not because of who they are.

I listened to all of it, too!  Steven Weinburg was reading his newspaper on Day 1 and complaining about not being with his granddaughter, Sean Carroll made a disparaging comment about Lawrence Krauss "cashing in" (even though Carroll did the same thing) and Dawkins, when invited to dinner, stated, on camera, that he refused to attend, and throughout the entire 3-day conference, he barely said 20 words, if that. I could go on, but I'll stop.
