Who is you favorite Atheist speaker/writer. I've recently (within the past 6 months) started following Daniel Dennet and I find his work is well thought out and worth my attention
I enjoy Dennet for the rigor he applies to most of his thoughts on the subject. He is also refreshingly straightforward and honest. However, there is a large list and I'd be hard pressed to name any one individual as a favorite.
For comedy, George Carlin, Dave Allen, Jim Jefferies, and Robin Williams.
