103. Ironic that Jen McCreight is mentioned

In January 2010, McCreight did a great job of refuting the tiresome old canard that most atheists are Caucasian geezers. (A canard repeated again in this very thread, of course.)

She compiled a huge list of "Awesome Female Atheists." In the "Activists" category alone, we find...
