If I remember correctly, Anthony Magnabosco was inspired to start this experiment after reading Peter Boghossian's A Manual for Creating Atheists around 5 years ago. He's now progressed to being an irregular co-host on e.g. The Atheist Experience.

We had a few talented proponents of this (Socratic) technique on TTA over the years. Sadly, the 'attack dogs' often drowned out those interactions which meant that believers became defensive (then aggressive) chew-toys - a freeze>fight>flight inevitability - and the caricature of the angry atheist was confirmed.

Watching Magnabosco's early attempts in comparison to his current capability is informative.
