I understand that the name of the song is titled 'Is this the real thing'; coupled with the images of some of the most extraordinary minds who have advanced human comprehension in recent times, the music is a compelling draw card. The video is a welcome statement regarding atheists. I am left to express both my gratitude for and my commendation of this video.

I don't think I understand the point. You're showing pictures of people that aren't atheists in a defense of atheists?

Aww, no Hitchens? You could've bumped Dave Matthews at least.

The text fades away too fast. me thinks

Carl Sagan denied being an atheist.
" "An atheist has to know a lot more than I know." In reply to a question in 1996 about his religious beliefs, Sagan answered, "I'm agnostic." Sagan maintained that the idea of a creator of the universe was difficult to prove or disprove and that the only conceivable scientific discovery that could challenge it would be an infinitely old universe." - Wikipedia

Oh, and simply because someone might be educated or might make a great discovery doesn't mean they're not a fool.

Anthony Hopkins is also an atheist i think.

Christopher Hitchens, James Cameron, George Carlin, Isaac Asimov, Kurt Vonnegut, Ron Reagan Jr., Randy Newman, Ernest Hemingway, Stephen Fry, Kathryn Hepburn, John Huston, Gene Roddenberry, H.P. Lovecraft, Steve Wozniak...yep, all complete fools who have brought nothing of value to humanity. Oh, the absurdity of blind belief in a book that is at its core is simply a millenium length game of Telephone.

Sagan is a scientist that I show so much respect and I realized you have started and ended your video with him. He has a unique love for life with it's miracles and about how life, started. In one of his interviews he says "it is scientist’s duty not to say something is true until he proves it" But this doesn't mean they don't believe it either. "To believe something because they say so" can be dangerous without filtering with your own mind.

Even being suspicious about God, is a need of human conscious. What I believe is this: The problem is in, where we are looking to see if there is god or not, "where is he and in what form if he exists etc.." And of course when we find most of the answers as nonsense, we may have a decision about he doesn't exist. Also you don't have a proof for he doesn't exist. For example feelings are something that you don't see but they are there isn't it?

Certainly I don't believe the god that is commonly taught us until 20th century (and may be still). God is something that strongly some people don’t prefer us to believe too. Also same people don’t prefer humans to think either! God is not changing than what was before but it is something that we (humans) couldn't name before and still. Science wasn't and still isn't enough to know more about it, but simply could you believe before that "time is relative" and can be different according to observers’ situations?(it is 5 minues for me but for you it's years.) "Can you ever think that even there may be a place exists that has no time at all? " Or with quantum mechanics law, don't the same scientists says that “everything (including universe) is made up of same thing and everything seems to be a holographic reflection of the whole" So how can one defers eactohter as humans, trees or stars. Some of them are proven some of are still in theory but certainly it goes somewhere else which goes well with my own belief.

Don't believe in "a god that other people describes" they are all different ideas and also don't reject as you don't find any good reason or evidence to believe. But collect all information you feel you can trust and bring your own imagination with an open heart to discover more everyday and yes be suspicious about what everything is proven also. For me this is the way of human believes to be pure. If you feel it, don't try to name it, if you don't feel, still you are good, don't force it or don't call people as believers or not believers.

I don't separate people as atheist or theist, nobody can blame people whether they believe or not cause I believe all is a part of the whole. There wouldn't be something right or wrong if we knew all the answers. It is just the ones's decision about what to believe, so I also show respect any idea which is suspicious but just prefer to own my own.

What if all those wonderful, intelligent people who contributed valuable, life giving substance to society (like art and science) totally missed the whole point of life? Missing the one thing that matters ... that would be foolish.

maybe you should let the text in the video be abit longer before you cut. had to pause the video every time there was reading involved. didn't even watch the entire thing because of it.
