Atheists visualized

I stumbled across this interesting graphic today, depicting four of our most prominent atheist (secular humanist) thinkers: Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, Sam Harris and Christopher Hitchens.

The image groups them based on various (slightly arbitrary, but still very interesting) categories, highlighting some of their differences and commonalities. It certainly conveys a lot of information efficiently and elegantly.

Worth checking out!
