Who are your favorite unbelievers on YouTube and why? I think mine would have to be TheoreticalBullshit and AronRa. TBS managed to get in a little philosophical exchange with Bil Craig and (I think) quite neatly school him and his attempted refutations (i.e constant straw-mans) of his modal argument.

I enjoy listening to AronRa because he's about the last guy (along with TBS) to get belligerent and he's genuinely interested in having an open conversation.
Which means that to me the offer of certainty, the offer of complete security, the offer of an impermeable faith that can\'t give way, is the offer of something not worth having.

QualiaSoup's videos are pretty good. NonStampCollector's are hilarious.

I like listening to the Atheist Experience from time to time, and I can second QualiaSoup.

Q for theists; how can there be freewill and miracles? And, how can prayer exist in an environment as regimented as "gods plan"?

Haven't watched a youtube atheist I've liked yet. And I say this as an atheist.

Mr. Deity, his videos are absolutely hilarious.

AronRa, of course. Brilliant man.

I also thorougly enjoy DarkMatter's animated shorts, many of them are quite poignant, many of them just hilarious.

The thing is... this guy looks like someone who comes up to people in the gym to give them exercise recommendations with throwing in "Jesus" and "Christ" every 10-seconds. "Christ wants you strong! Feel Jesus in your glutes!"

Even though I admire him so much, I'm sure he poops standing up like the rest of us.

Faith: pretending to know things you don't know

Some of my recent favorite YT unbelievers are KnownNoMore (very in-depth refutations of theistic arguments), CounterApologist (another one who does in depth refutations from both a scientific and philosophical perspective). Others I forgot to mention include QualiaSoup and his brother TheraminTrees, SisyphusRedeemed (a professional philosopher), Thunderf00t, and noelplum99. I think those are some excellent YouTube users with regards science, philosophy. :)

There are lots and lots and lots of great YT atheists  ....   or were.  So many of my favorites stopped making videos.  TheoreticalBullshit's are the best, period.  No question in my mind.  But there are lots and lots of second placers, many of whom rarely make vids.

But, here's a list:

TheoreticalBullshit
Edward Tarte  (If you haven't seen him, he's a must.  A former Catholic priest no less.  He does 5 kinds of videos.  1.  Atheist. 2 Math challenge.  3 chess challenge 4 piano.  I skip the piano and chess.)
DarkMatter2525 / DarkAntics
NonStampCollector
AronRa
Shane Killain (Though he mainly does his libertarian politics podcast these days)
Potholer54 (Who awards the Golden Crockoduck)
Logicked
LithodidMan
WildwoodClare
TheLivingDinosaur
Brett Palmer
DasAmericanAtheist

The list goes on and on. Now, sadly, many of those don't have current content. But, if you haven't seen 'em, its new to you.

Edward Current. Most of his videos are satire where he pretends to be a christian (poe).
