Who are your favorite current Atheists?

Who are your favorite current Atheists?
Who do you follow in the Atheist community?

Personally, my favorite is the "Pope of Atheism" himself, Matt Dillahunty. I am also a big fan of Tracie Harris, Jeff Dee, Steve Shives, Scott Clifton, Richard Coughlan, PZ Myers, Richard Carrier, Susan Jacoby, Aron Ra, Martin Wagner, Jenny McDermott, Captain Andy, Laci Green, Rebecca Watson, CJ Werleman (yes, I know and I still enjoy his work), HannibalTheVictor13 and Jennifer McCreight. I'm sure I am forgetting a few.

Also, even though he doesn't like to use labels such as Atheist, I also have to add Neal Degrasse Tyson.

Generally, I'm pretty pleased with myself.

Reginald Finely is the first to come to mind, though he hasn't been active in a while.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

He sold off AF.com and now works in Florida I believe.

I've never followed any atheist on YouTube or in general life really.

I'm sorry, but I can't hold this in. PZ Meyers is a total twat.

I like a lot of different atheists, but most of those are for reasons that have nothing to do with their atheism. The only one I can think of off the top of my head that has anything to do with atheism is Ricky Gervais.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Why is that? I personally enjoy his work. I became a fan when he exposed a certain horrible person in the atheist community who shall remain nameless. Big Grin After I spent some time reading through his work, I really gained a lot of respect for him.

I wasn't really thinking of comedians when I made my OP but now that I think about it, I would also add Patton Oswalt to the list.

I have heard Matt Dillhunty and several others mention him but I haven't had a chance to check out any of this work yet.

I've always disliked myers and A+ mainly because A+ itself is generally as welcoming to people who don't espouse their given political/social ideas as ISIS is to, well, anyone who doesn't espouse their beliefs. Minus the beheadings and burning alive of people, naturally.

Why is he a total twat? He seemed reasonable most of the time...

A philosopher who knows the science. What's not to love. I just like his style - he's very smart, unyielding, yet manages to be charming in the process.

Here's maybe an illustration of what I mean (starting near 15:00)


Some important works - Consciousness Explained, Darwin's Dangerous Idea, Breaking The Spell.
