I have seen Dawkins (in person) and have read his books and seen his DVDs. Yes, I know that he considers himself a voice for reason (as the commenter says), which is exactly why I'd want him, even if atheism isn't exactly his cause. “If you’ve seen Richard Dawkins at all you’ll know that he’s great but he considers himself a voice for reason not for atheists.”

She's the one that organized the Atheist Bus Campaign over there, FWIW.

They know how to keep their cool. And Edward Current wouldn't be so bad (if we could only bring him over to "our" side, y'know). However, I still enjoy watching Dawkins, Hitchens, Maher, et al, tear it up. Sometimes, the willfully ignorant out there just need a harsh punch of reason. As for relating science & skepticism to the public, Tyson, Plait and Nye, hands down. I've seen Neil Tyson speak on science at a church in the Deep South, of all places, and it was absolutely amazing to watch him relate science/reality to the public. @Phillip, She's also dead. Didn't you see Ep.III? I think Hemant and Harris are great talking heads for atheism. They know how to keep their cool.
