Who's your favourite atheist?

[Foxtrot Uniform]

Matt Dillahunty, if only for the reason that he is a major reason that I am atheist. Dawkins and the rest of the horsemen are in my tops as well.

And of course I would be in my tops, but I do not have a public image to which I can spread my views to the world, yet.

[Diamond]

I feel conceited when I say this but ME!
KT Tunstall(also my favorite singer)
Russel, Dawkins, Hitchens, etc. (Hard to think of all the philosophers at once)
and George Carlin(gotta name a comedien!)

[oscarstrok]

no one said Carl Sagan yet? oh well

mine is Carl Sagan :3

[reverendjeremiah]

Albert Camus right off the bat.. I stand behind the philosophy of Absurdism as well.

Then Carl Sagan.. but to be fair, Sagan wrote that he prefered to be called an agnostic instead of an atheist.

Then Neil Degrasse Tyson

Then Richard Dawkins

Tyson AND Dawkins make very good points in this video

Comedian like George Carlin, Bill Maher and Bill Hick are not self proclaimed atheist yet hit on Religion a lot, and I do hit on them myself at times.

One of these rare atheist like Ricky Gervais, are reasonable with Christian, and do get along somewhere in middle grounds. I find my own middle ground from both extreme ends of the poles.

[Darwinian]

Gosh darn it. There are so many here that I agree with, like all of them. So, to fulfil the requirements of the OP and to still be unique I will have to go for Jonathan Miller

[frankiej]

I feel like this has of course been said many times here, but I am of course my favourite as no one quite believes the exact same thing as I do... Some do come close though.

However, it was Richard Dawkins who inspired me to speak out.
But really I admire anyone who is prepared to put themselves in the position of being ridiculed by the religious and doesn't back down when it comes to what they think is right... as long as it IS right of course ;P

[Minns]

George Carlin

[Cinjin]

At best, I could only give a top 10 list with no chronological order.

Yep, they're all that good.



Now a much better question: My favorite christians?

[The Magic Pudding]

Douglas Adams

I like Fred Hollows, an eye surgeon who spent much of his time giving people sight in the developing world.
He's dead but his charity continues to do the work and teaches others to do it.
When theists say Atheists can't be good, they've got no reason to be, I just point at Fred.
