“… oh wait, there is an original force, oh who could it possibly be!”

…oh, wait, there must be, then, an additional “original force” which activated (woke up?) your “original force”.
Then, what activated (woke up?) that “extra original force”, … wait,…it MUST be an additional “original force”, OH, who could it possibly be?
Another, and still another, then another, and another again, “original force”…?
How many of them?

This website is quite the waste of money. Every question can be refuted if you allow yourself to go outside of your own little self motivated world and look at things in the big picture. Christians say God is the creator of the Universe, thus they believe he is slightly “above” the intellect of human beings. Atheists make arguments that make God look like just another human. That is not possible. Where did we come from? Modern theory suggests that we may be a part of some multiverse in which infinite universes are created by intersecting dimensions outside of what we know as space and time.

Now the important part. Atheists see this as proof that God is not needed for our existence. Yet, oh wait, I forgot that the motion of those dimensions that spew out universes like popcorn needed to be started somehow, oh wait, there is an original force, oh who could it possibly be!

While I view your list as subjective from your viewpoint, others will not. Opponents will interpret this as further “proof” that atheism is nothing more than a bunch of old white guys. Recently there was that fallout from the Ms article about a lack of female atheists, an article which Jen McCreight destroys here:

Personally, I disagree with your list. While these are definitely the most visible to the public eye, I think there are better examples of influential atheists out there like Ayann Hirsi Ali, Annie Laurie Gaylor, PZ Myers, Hemant Mehta, Greta Christina, et al. Again, my list would be just as subjective as we are both individuals, but I feel many on your list DO NOT promote atheism as their primary goal.
