This is a link to an article is about some of the well known people in the atheist movement and how they and the very far right seem to mesh. A must read for anyone interested in the atheist movement. For myself, I am an atheist of very long standing, but have never felt any of the people mentioned in the article ever spoke for my views. I have always been skeptical of them.

Yeah, this article is doing the rounds, here and online. The last of a long line of attacks against prominent atheist activists. It seems I've been reading such articles since the early 2000s. I pay them little mind.
@creative51 Yes but you have to remember that, to a large extent, especially in countries like America, with strong theist political and media present, the theists get to pick the face of atheism. Therefore some you may approve of will languish in the medias back rooms, because the last thing the theist media wants is nice atheists.
