Andrew Brown wrote in ''The Guardian'' in an article entitled ''You [[Atheism and dance|can't dance to atheism]]'':

Atheist [[Jerry Coyne]] said about the [[Atheist conferences|atheist meetings]] which he attended:
{{cquote|But to me the speakers and talks have often seemed repetitive: the same crew of jet-set skeptics giving the same talks.
...a few things bothered me, most notably the [[Atheism and arrogance|air of self-congratulation]] (which I excused on the grounds of enthusiastic people finding like-minded folks for the first time), the “fanboyness” directed at some of the famous atheists (they hardly let poor [[Richard Dawkins' cult of personality|Richard]] alone, and I’m not sure he liked that!), and the lameness of quite a few of the talks. Again, how much new can you say about atheism?<ref>[https://whyevolutionistrue.wordpress.com/2011/06/10/are-there-too-many-atheist-meetings/ Are there too many atheist meetings?] by Jerry Coyne</ref>}} The American Christian Todd Strandberg said of atheism: "The ranks of atheists have always [[Atheist Population|been small]]... The key problem with atheism is that it lacks a strong 'selling point'".<ref>[http://www.raptureready.com/rr-atheism.html Atheism: The cult of death]</ref> See also: [[Unattractiveness of atheism]] and [[Atheist Population|Atheist population]]
