...I even remember the guy's name.
As it turns out, I actually read a book by him back in the 1970s, but didn't remember the name of the author.
I've never read any of his later stuff on atheism, and as a mathematician, I doubt that I would understand much of his academic and scientific work in biology. (The book of his that I read back in the 1970s was just a popular account for the general audience, titled "The Selfish Gene".)
I suspect that I am like many old-school atheists in this.
Except for seeing his name on the internet these last few years, many of us would not even know who he is, even if by chance we happened to read one of his books at some point in our lives.

My point is that I know I wouldn't and they knew their presence would be equally disruptive.

Leader might be stretching it - but he is held up as the "representative" atheist by some believers

Well I think it was honestly said but the members of AA have to realize we can discuss him
