    I disagree. Scientists do harm to the atheist movement in the longterm because their métier is not metaphysics (aka philosophical bullshit). What we need are skilled orators in the vein of Hitchens with firm grounding in history and contemporary politics. Hitchens', admittedly non-scholarly knowledge of islam trumps that of Dawkins and Krauss.

    How do scientists do harm to the atheist movement? The real harm is criticism of religion without knowledge. Scientists are people who promote truth.

    The Atheist movement wouldn't even exist if atheist scientists weren't out there promoting science.


    Richard Dawkins' documentaries on evolution are what made me an atheist and his books on science have made lots of other people atheists as well.

    I like Hitchens' views on politics and the social impact of religion but when it comes to talking about the universe and where it all came from Science is where it's at.

    Well, I partly agree. Partly because their aren't too many public speakers who will spoil you with the oratory magnificence of Hitchens. I also wouldn't say that scientists do "harm" to the atheist movement, because they represent the frontier with which we've rendered religious creationism false, the scientific frontier. They are central to the debate.

    But yeah, there are few things more embarrassing than a scientists lost in the landscapes of philosophy, history and contemporary politics. Not only that, but most scientists are exceptionally pale and dull in their presentations as well. Neill Degrasse Tyson, you are of coursed exempt.
    Believe those who are seeking the truth. Doubt those who find it.

    You just answered your own question. Their profession(s) do not entail ideological advocacy.
