Bertrand Russell
Linked via "Why I Am Not a Christian"
Religion and Atheism
Russell's relationship with religion was marked by sustained critical scrutiny. His 1927 lecture "Why I Am Not a Christian" became a foundational text for modern atheism, arguing that Christian doctrine rests upon insufficient evidence and morally questionable premises. He nevertheless expressed qualified admiration for certain ethical teachings attributed to Jesus.
