8 atheist leaders actually worth listening to

Forget Sam Harris and Richard Dawkins. The new atheists don't have the
final word on godlessness

1. Rebecca Hensler. Hensler founded Grief Beyond Belief

2. Debbie Goddard. Goddard is director of the campus and community
outreach department at Center for Inquiry

3. August E. Brunsman IV. Brunsman is Executive Director of the
Secular Student Alliance,

4. Muhammad Syed. Syed is President of Ex-Muslims of North

And more importantly, I’m writing this to alert any atheists, and
anyone questioning their religion, who might be reading this: There’s
a whole lot more to organized atheism than Dawkins and Harris. If
you’ve been interested in the burgeoning atheist movement — please
know that it’s a large, diverse, rapidly growing movement, with a huge
variety of ideas, goals, demographics, values, strategies, and vibes.

Interesting article Does anyone have anyone to add to this list? That or comment on those in it?

What is "organized atheism" but a slippery slope toward movements like A+?

All atheists have in common is their lack of belief in deities.

Leaders?
You know, organizing atheists is like herding cats and all that......

Sure, they're cool people who did some awesome things, but I wouldn't go as far as calling them leaders, especially not of a group whose only common ground is often not following the herd.

No shit.

The following scriptures are relevant:

Psalms 1:1 "Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful".

i.e. to follow these "leaders" is to forgo the blessing of the Lord.

Jude 1: 17-19 "But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit."

i.e. only those who wish to justify their own wickedness would follow these "leaders"

Ok, now you're just preaching. What do you think you're going to accomplish by that?

Also, did you memorize the whole bible or do you get those from fortune cookies? -_-

No, the above words are trolling.

"The counsel of the man that walketh not in the delusion that he speaks for god, nor standeth in the way of skepticism, nor sittith in the seat of the sanctimonious, nor drink of the fount of fallacy is a rationalist, and should be listened to and considered, but not blindly followed.  And rememberth that when people warn thou that they might be mocked, that there might be reason to mock them.  Rather than follow them or any other, thou shouldst use the brain that evolution hast equipped thou with and follow no man blindly"

He has to have somewhere to put the seat of the sanctimonious.

Ah yes, nothing worse than an ex-flouncer. Flouncing is bad enough, but to then return to continue to darken our towels?!? Flounce and get thee behind me devil!

Ignominy is thy name!
