I watch the live stream every sunday, Matt Dillahunty is cool amd Tracy is smart and you'll like the call in part. http://www.atheist-experience.com

My current favorite is hassling Catholic fundies about abortion and free will.

There are no black and white atheisms. There are no gay and straight atheisms. Any more than there are different versions of science in those categories. The evidence, or lack thereof, for the existence of gods, does not change with race, ethnicity, gender or sexual orientation, any more than the evidence for gravitational waves or global warming does.

And I doubt very much whether you're interested in "getting beyond" anything.

have the potential to alter their experience of the world, just as it does for non-atheists. And I'm interested in those perspectives, too.

which is what you claimed to be looking for, would be those taking personal biases out of the equation, wouldn't you say?

as I read. If you are right, that will show up as I compare the writings of different atheists.

I occasionally will watch a video from some bloggers if it looks interesting or funny. There are several AronRa videos I have seen and like, and I saw a Cult of Dusty parody of "God is Not Dead" the other day, but I don't really follow any of them.

Usually I get links to them from either youtube suggestions, FB friends or from threads here on DU.

If you are looking for the people who influenced my views the most you would have to look at people like Mark Twain, Thomas Paine, etc. To be honest, my road to non-belief was paved primarily by Deists and non-religious believers.

The most modern non-believer who influenced my non-belief would be Cliff Walker's Positive Atheism web page which hasn't had any major changes in YEARS....at least any that I am aware of.

The last I was sort of regularly reading was Skepchick, but I really don't read any regularly anymore. I don't find much of interest there, as I used to grep debate info from them, but believer's debate arguments haven't evolved much, so I haven't needed any aid unravelling anything lately. Tiredly predictable.

I follow some science blogs, but that's not really the same thing.

Aron Ra takes a very intellectual approach. Every position he takes is explained in detail in video somewhere on his channel.

Both of the above you can find their best recorded speeches and conversations on youtube, mostly on their own channels.

I'll check him out!

in atheism. There are several women and members of minorities at freethoughtblogs.com, where he writes now.

It's a lot easier to self-identify as a minority group when the vast majority of what you are is identified with all the majority groups.

It seems logical to do whatever one can to assist those for which it may be more difficult to "come out" and assist them wherever possible.

But...

They are two Atheists who are very left wing, at least socially, but, be warned, its very profanity laden and they have little to no filter. I just find them funny as hell.
