A Famous Atheist There have been many famous atheists over the years and there are many today. Our numbers are growing every day. Atheists are normal people from every walk of life. We are politically conservative and liberal, we are kind and unkind, we are good and bad, we are brilliant and stupid, we are generous and greedy, we are talented and without talent. Therefore, we are human.

However, atheists have one thing in common: we do not subscribe to gods, fairies, or any other myths. Science, fact, and reason are our guide. These things we hold in the highest esteem. Most atheists see organized religion as ultimately bad for the development of society. Belief in these myths is a holdover from our human past as we grew from primitives to sentient beings. We believe there is true enlightenment and freedom in letting go of these myths.
