A comment on this
Shadow to Light post has caused be to make an addition to the
Internet Atheist Facts O' Fun.
The Our Secretary (but not your Secretary) will Disavow Rule:
Atheists have no leaders. Dawkins, Harris, Hitchens, etc. are just famous people with intelligent, critical readers. At the very most, primarily as a courtesy, you might call them
fans. But if, for example, Dawkins says or does something
beyond the pale of atheist orthodoxy embarrassing, why it's all on him. Christians, however, have
leaders. Pat Robertson, John Hagee, Ken Ham, just to name a few--these all are bona fide Christian leaders. If they say or do something embarrassing (when don't they?) it reflects on all Christians. Because they are Christian leaders and spokesmen and all Christians are their loyal followers and sheeple.
