Your Atheist Twin?
July 10, 2010 at 6:00 pm
There are many different types of atheist out there but, if you had to align yourself with just one prominent atheist in the public eye who you tend to entirely agree with both with everything they say and their general attitude towards the subject, who would it be?

For myself I think it would be Stephen Fry.

Since I cannot get fully behind any atheist speaker out there, I would have to say my twin died. If I were to pick the closest I could, it would probably be George Carlin, Bill Maher or Christopher Hitchens.

I suppose that Luis Bunuel would probably be the closest I can think of. Or maybe Lord Russell.

I would say John Lennon, but I don't think he was an atheist, definitely anti-religion though!

I don't know of one. I take bits from Dawkins, Hitchens, Stephen Fry, George Carlin, Daniel Dennett, Sam Harris - but I am my own unique mix really Big Grin
