{{Cquote|Here is another problem though with the [[atheist movement]]. That we tend to [[Atheism and leadership|inflate people beyond their capacity]].

 

So Seth Andrews, he's got really good voice. OK, I will admit that. Ah, his position ought to be, you know, reading out transcripts of things that people more qualified, more intelligent than he is have written out. Ah, but no, he's now an atheist thought leader and I have heard anything from him that I have found particularly thoughtful.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83DfGV1bmIc Seth Andrews Gaslights His Critics: w/ PZ Myers & Kristi Winters]</ref>}}

Now I know some people out there are very weary of all the public infighting and the squabbling and the division and just the general nastiness out there between various camps. And I totally get that. I totally get it.
