Come out, come out, where ever you are!
Atheists are all around us.
When friends & relatives look askance at your atheism, use this handy guide to pull up some celebrity atheists to confound and confuse them. (Of course, this only works if you know your target's favorite celebrities, and at least one of those celebs are on this list).

Please check out these earlier editions of the series. The list is getting long, so only some of the previous diaries are linked here. However, clicking on diary #9 will give you a list of links for diaries #1 through #8.
#9: Speaking in Tongues Edition
A closer look at the Pentecostal practice of "speaking in tongues" (a.k.a. glossolalia), a practice which is current in the Assemblies of God churches, where Sarah Palin spent twenty years as a worshipper.
#5: Dalton Trumbo Edition
Looks at the new documentary on writer Dalton Trumbo and the Hollywood blacklist.
#4: Child Abuse Edition
Discusses three award-winning documentaries exposing the abuse of children at the hands of preachers, evangelists, and Catholic priests.
As always, here is your Video Reward for making it all the way to the end.
NEXT WEEK'S EDITION OF YOUR SUNDAY ATHEIST (number eleven in our series) is tentatively entitled LIE TO ME. We'll see if I can fully develop that theme between now and next Sunday. Meanwhile, use some of those handy dKos tools, like SEARCH or SUBSCRIBE, and keep up to date on this series as new diaries are published.
