Top Atheist Now Believes in a Creator

Top Atheist?? There is a top atheist? Are there also middle atheists and bottom atheists. And if he's no longer an atheist, who's on top now?

My vote goes to Peter Singer.

Among his other "enlightened" views, Petey advocates giving new parents a 30 day test drive to decide whether to keep a baby or to kill it. And he has no moral objections to man-animal intimate relations (can interspecies marriage be far off?).

Atheism is a delightful belief system to follow if you don't give a sweet rosy damn where you end up.

I think, by that, Strobel means that he is the atheist that atheists look up to to bolster their belief in the non-existence of God.

In that sense, Flew is a top atheist. He is oft quoted, is also the one atheists present as their champion in debates with Theists, and his conversion to Deism made NEWS because reporters thought it was a very big deal.

I have seen common atheists become Christians in my lifetime, no one made a big deal of it. But Antony Flew's change of mine was reported ALL OVER THE WORLD.

In this sense, he is "TOP".

Dawkins?

Good point. How can one be more of an atheist than the next one?
