My favourite atheist to listen to in debates and whose articles I enjoy reading the most would have to be Dan Barker. He founded
The Freedom from Religion Foundation after changing his beliefs from fundamentalist preacher to atheist. On these links he has a
radio interview with Neil Dionne,
discusses religion with preacher Jason Gastrich (actually he completely owns him), he debates Bob Osburn about whether religion benefits society
here and
here, and he also
debates Phil Fernandes here. He's charismatic, intelligent, entertaining and rationally minded.
Next would have to be Reginald Finley. He's been doing (and still does) regular radio shows that you can hear over at
InfidelGuy.com and
Freethoughtmedia.com. He's got hundreds of hours worth of them archived, and although you have to pay to have full access to the archives, it's totally worth it if you want to hear him interviewing people like
Richard Dawkins and discussing philosophy with anyone and everyone in the arena of metaphysics. You can listen to some of his shows for free
here and
here. He's definitely very charismatic and entertaining, and doesn't bore you with overcomplicated diatribe.
Then there's
James Randi. He's a skeptic who puts his money where his mouth is -- prove something supernatural exists and win $1,000,000. You can listen to him explaining it to everyone's favourite bumbling apologist Jason Gastrich (the one Dan Barker owned)
here.
Okay, those are mine. Does anyone else have favourite atheist debaters and commentators?
