This is a new page that all good Christians are welcome to improve!
Randolf Richardson serves as the Founder and President of the Canadian Atheists organization that promotes peaceful advocacy in public discourse and the concerns for rights of atheists, and stopping the vilification of [[atheism]]. He calls himself an advocate for freedom and rights, all of which seems consistent with his organization's slogan "True, Northern, Strong, And Free".
Some of his controversial advocacy is for [[abortion]] throughout all three trimesters, and he is opposed to holding pregnant women responsible for having an abortion in the name of freedom. His view is that this is a matter of [[human rights]], but he's highly selective about this because '''he refuses to recognize the human rights of the unborn child'''.
He is known in atheist circles for wanting to re-define atheism by promoting it as a ''lacktheist'' position, but this hasn't been well received because most atheists don't agree with him on this definition and regularly argue with him about it (especially in Twitter fights). Despite everyone's best efforts to educate him in real-world [[philosophy]] or even with dictionaries, he always dismisses the primary "doctrine that there is no god" definition that is widely accepted and commonly used by professional philosophers from all walks of life. His usual defenses of the ''lacktheist'' definition mostly rely on the etymological fallacy, which is a genetic fallacy that holds that the present-day meaning of a word should be the same as its historical meaning.
In some debates with Christians, some of which are posted on his YouTube channel, Randolf also denies that objective morals come from [[god]], and '''he relies on trickery to convince his audiences that god is unnecessary''' even in his own country of [[Canada]], which of course is a [[Christian]] country according to the Canadian Constitution that states ''"Whereas Canada is founded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of God and the rule of law"''<ref>[https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/const/page-15.html Canadian Constitution, Charter Of Rights And Freedoms]</ref>.
