Anthony Flew? Anthony WHO? I’ve never heard of him, and I’ve read on this topic. Vs. Billy Graham and C.S. Lewis are/were famous. So the analogy doesn’t hold up. I’m not even sure that he qualifies for “the worlds most famous Atheist”. That would be Sam Harris, or one of the other authors who’ve written best sellers on the topic. Or the late Madeline Murray O’Hare, perhaps. Anthony has over-reached on his PR claims, methinks.

Actually, among the college professor, philosophy PhD types, Flew was recognized as the world’s foremost champion of a-theistic philosophy for decades.

Comparing Madeline Murray O’Hare to Anthony Flew is something like comparing Billy Graham to Alvin Plantinga.

O’Hare put a lot of Flew’s ideas out in the public forum; Flew was really an academic type, behind the scenes guy for most of his career.
