Matt Dillahunty, of course! He is president of the Atheist Community of Austin, host of the live internet radio show “Non-Prophets Radio” and of the Austin Public-access television cable TV show “The Atheist Experience”.
Just thought Virginia Woolf would be a good person to add to your list of famous atheists.
Donald Sutherland, Seth MacFarlane and Bill Maher would be great additions to your list of famous atheists.
Hi Michael,
just read your article in the irish time and was struck by its almost apologetic tone.
I am a non-militant atheist (so Dawkins is not on my mailing list!). I defend the right of the individual to believe in what they want provided it does not harm or negatively influence.
However I notice that a lot of literature and comments, related to atheism, mention or imply that atheism is a ‘rejection’. To quote your article ‘Why are atheists so certain that gods do not exist? Actually, most of us aren’t. We merely reject the assertion that one or more gods do exist, based on the best currently available evidence.’
But the question is more: why assume a god. in the absence of any evidence, why must the (even the term is misleading) ‘non-believers’ have to defend themselves, surely it should be the ‘believers’.
THis argument runs to the heart of teh true atheist position: I do not reject, I merely do no accept. This leaves the believer as the one who is looking for acceptence (of their views).
The total absence of evidence (to support a god-concept) makes atheism a default position.
keep up the good work

stephen hawkings!!
he authored the book the brief history of time and the grand design!! in which he has theoretically proved that god is not necessary!!
Derren Brown. Safe to say he’s an Atheist.

Mikey –
Just wanted to say Hi and commend you on the excellent job you’re doing for us down here, its so greatly appreciated as its saving us a lot of time and effort. The work you’re doing along with all the others who’s souls I own and who embrace our strong beliefs in socialism – democratic atheism – gay rights – abortion – sexual freedoms with beast and children – destruction of good families – marriage and all moral values – standing up against these fundamentalists – born again, Christians and Jews, and other religions involving phobias of god/s and the supernatural. Also important to mention are the removal of crosses – Jesus statues – the prayer and bible reading – the coinage phrase, ‘In God We Trust’ – of the USA – religious holidays – (Except our day of Halloween) from society as a whole. You with OBAMA – the Clintons – and all other like minded people are really helping our cause worldwide – you’re making my job so much easier – and I can’t wait to shake you hand and reward you and all the others like you –who are working for me – too spent eternity with me! Looking forwarded to meeting you all personally! Keep up the good work!
Signed – LUCIFER ie.. satan the devil — See ya soon!
Ps – Ted Kennedy and his brothers – along with John Paul II and little Michael sent their best – await your arrival.
I think people like Bill Maher and Stephen Hawking would be natural additions to the list.
Seth Macfarlane, creator of Family Guy and the Cleveland show could attract some attention.
Angela Gossow, singer of heavy metal band Arch Enemy is a devoted atheist as well.
I think these additions would cover a large area of people, ranging from intellectuals, comedy fans and metalheads. Like myself.
Thank you.
