My answer is probably not. Prominent atheists like Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris played a big role in me becoming an atheist. So I guess we ought to be indebted to other atheists (past or present).
Depends on whether I had access to a scientific education or not. Richard Dawkins or Sam Harris had nothing to do with me becoming an atheist.
Saying that, I dismissed the idea of God long before I gave up woo. I used to believe in reincarnation because I was raised in those beliefs even though the first two schools I went to were Xtian schools.
