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).
I don't know, for me it wasn't atheists that made me atheist. The starting of me becoming atheist was me trying to dig deep into my past religion. Then realizing it's garbo.
Now obviously if there were only very biased theistic material for me to dig into, it might have been different. But none biased, neutral content is what is needed.
