Yet, despite [[Physical and mental health related problems associated with obesity|the health risks]] of [[obesity]] and being overweight and despite the fact that [[exercise science]], [[nutritional science]] and [[medical science]] have a number of effective treatments for obesity, a significant amount of prominent atheists are obese/overweight (see: [[Atheism and obesity]]). For example, 3 out of 5 of these leaders of the [[New Atheism]] movement have had issues with being overweight as can be seen [http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3UXl0oMYPLs/SXgxH_-MgFI/AAAAAAAAAF4/EU-wzxEjOmc/s1600-h/atheist-reason.jpg HERE] and [http://www.flickr.com/photos/7230309@N05/3708479160/ HERE] and [http://news.softpedia.com/newsImage/Quantum-Mechanics-Could-Link-Humans-with-the-Universe-2.jpg/ HERE] (see: [[New Atheism leadership's problem with excess weight]]). In addition, most atheists champion the [[Pseudoscience|pseudoscientific]] notions of [[evolution]] and [[Origin of life|abiogenesis]].

[[PZ Myers]] is also a leader within the New Atheism movement and Myers has had problems with being overweight and [[PZ Myers' health issues|experienced health problems]] as a result. A 2009 picture of a significantly overweight PZ Myers can be found [http://www.flickr.com/photos/cfimi/5244769742/ HERE]. As of August 2013, [[Richard Dawkins]] and [[Sam Harris]] have not publicly commented on the significant problems the New Atheism leadership has experienced in terms of overweight members.
