The Atheist Movement.

I think he was a good orator and author, but not a leader of any kind. I don't think we'd have been buddies, nor would I have expected him to return my phone calls.

This is how I feel about it, although I think he and I could have sourly cut up over some scotch.

The only "atheist" leaders I give a fuck about are the kind who are more closely aligned with science and skepticism. Sagan. Tyson. Novella. Shermer. Etc.

It's not enough to be an atheist, and how many times can you sit there and jack off to the idea that "god is not real"? You have to find something positive (and by positive, I mean the opposite of 'null', not happy feelings necessarily) to fill the void. People are always proud of themselves for not believing in god, but lack basic abilities to think critically, have little to no basic understanding of human psychology or history, and often trade god-belief for other woo.
