There will always be a more vocal and popular member of a group that "stands out" to people. If we as individuals choose not to give a crow to someone, I assure you that the media will.

The media has already declared people such as Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens as atheist leaders.

They can declare them anything they want, I have no obligation to listen to any of them and I don't. I might read a book by Dawkins or Hitchens or whoever, but they don't speak for me. I have no atheist leaders. I am my own person.

This isn't so much about obligations to listen to anyone but how the social grouping of individuals leads to leaders being appointed and eventually atheists are no exception and they'll find causes to fight for.

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
