I'd have to say Richard Dawkins...any thoughts?
Not really a debater but the work of Steve Shives (an atheist reads) are well worth your time.
This is an example of dozens of his discussions as he page by page debunks Christian Apologetics books
Dawkins is Obsessives about Religion says Steven Hawking's.
Last few years I actually enjoy listening to Seth Andrews . Christianity made me talk like an idiot.
Great voice, informative and entertaining.
Good call, I forgot to mention him. Love his podcasts.
I agree that Richard is one of the best, but there quite a few others I like as well.
Sam Harris.
Matt Dillahunty.
PZ myers. (not sure if I spelled that right).
Atheist do call Dawkins their Champion.
Also call him fundamentalist atheist.
@JohnDublin you're describing the noun definition. The adjective is defined as anyone adhering to any discipline strictly to it's fundamentals.
@JohnDublin I disagree. It can refer to a person's strict adherence to a movement's principles. Political, for example. What's more, I have met and known atheists who are dogmatic in their views. While I agree that atheism is not a religion, it is not immune to such trappings.
@JohnDublin
Atheism is protected under the US Government as a Religion
Make little sense to me. Government can do anything they want , like God.
