Asimov had some pretty good characters, such as those in the “Foundation” and “I, Robot” series of books. Too bad the man was a raving, Kool-Aid drinking leftist... atheist!!!

Not sure I can agree. I haven't studied the man enough, but my recent reading of his history books "The Greeks: a great adventure", "The Roman Republic", "The Roman Empire", "The Land of Canaan", and others don't exactly correspond with your assessment. He was also heavily involved in the Great Books project.

From these sources, I can believe the atheist part, but raving kool-aid drinking leftist doesn't ring true. Hmm. Perhaps I'll have to reconsider.

Yes, but he gets points for being a Dirty Old Man. Also for being quick with witty limericks.

Interesting to discover, since one of my favorite non-fiction books of his (never really got into his sci-fi stuff too much) was his Asimov's Guide to the Bible! Never knew he was an atheist, you wouldn't know it from the guide!
