I look forward to the lists, especially about ex-Jews and Catholics. Any ex-nuns wins.

I know I'm off topic here but Delillo's, or is it Dellilo's, new novel drops on 2/2...an event all book lovers should note and celebrate. He very well could be the best we have these days.

I'd been reading Dawkins' biology books long before he ever became the champion of atheism that he is now. I think TGD is okay, but he is best when writing about science.

Hey gang, if you find any New posts on the 4 Horsemen, let me know, I think I have read and watched the same ones enough times to have them memorized :) Like them or not, you have to admit Dawkins, Dennett, Harris and Hitchens have become the flag carriers of our cause to bring some light into this dark evangelical country. I am one of many who for decades, was not religious but could not get my feet on solid non-belief ground until I found them and devoured their writings and debates. Thank You 4 Horsemen.

@Ester: Yes, how the writing style appeals to us is important. That is what I dislike about writers -- their style, moreso than their ideas.

My experiences are like yours. I've been atheist for decades, but only started dealing with atheism about 2 years ago, which is when I learned who Dawkins was.

I am pretty anti-religion myself. I really do not think that it the content or the language. I think I just do not care for his style of writing, the long wild tangents and such. But really to each his own. That is what makes the world great.
I was also wondering if maybe the way some people seem to think the sun shines from his rear and some do not, has to do with how the person came to atheism. Some people come more or less on their own and some from reading people like Dawkins, not saying one is better or worse than the other just different. I came to atheism from, I guess experiences in my own life, and the fact that I was never really raised to be religious. And more than 5 years later picked up my first book on atheism so I wonder if you were religious and you found Mr. Dawkins and he was there providing evidence and support for atheism and then you decided that it all made sense if you would maybe appreciate him more? Just a thought. I am sure many people love him just because they love him and that is very fine, I am just not one of them ;)
