Today I applaud all of those brave Atheists that are willing to  broadcast their opinions on the airwaves, publish books, podcasts, webpages, or get in the News and be our voice of reason.

Pat Condell: This guy does not hold back. Polite? No way. He doesn't pull any punches and packs so much information and argument in five minutes that you'll be cheering. He lists his Video and Audio blog under the banner of "Comedy" but there's more than just comedy in the postings. Every time I listen to guy I think "Finally, someone has the balls to say this."

Dan Barker and Annie Laurie Gaylor: Co-Presidents of the Freedom from Religion Foundation: I don't know of two other people who work so hard to protect our rights. They are true Americans and real heroes in my book. Check out their web page and listen to their radioshow/podcast.

Richard Dawkins: Google him, buy his books, watch his DVD's and catch his interviews.

Jonathan Miller: He created a four part history lesson for the BBC called a "Brief History of Disbelief," a calm, intelligent statement of facts. I know I shouldn't be surprised to learn that religious people can watch this and get angry. If you google the series you'll see just how crazy people can get when their faith is challenged by reason and historical fact. Bravo to Mr. Miller for all the work he has done.

Who are your Atheist Heroes?
