No atheist can move men like me, the way a man like MLK could in a sermon. An atheists trying his hand at pulpit would make me cringe. While a theist like MLK moves both theists and atheists .
Perhaps you have a prejudice against atheists then.
No, just their moralizing. If the backbone of your moral pronunciation isn’t at an appeal to some eternal truth, then just stay home with it. Watching you moralize, would be as cringey as that Gillette commercial, as watching Sam Harris give a Ted Talk on the Moral Landscape.
An atheists will always be moved by a strong moral sermon of the religious, while they lack the strength to do so themselves, it’s more sickly pleas, than prophetic calls to repentance.
