If you don't know who Pat Condell is, I suggest you do a little research on him, or at the very least, watch a few of his videos below before offering a response here, as you'd look pretty stupid answering questions about a man you know nothing about otherwise.
For the lazy among us, I'll save you the calories in having to type/click any more than you'd like (you can just scroll, instead, which I'm pretty sure burns less calories than typing) by providing you some background information on just who Pat Condell is:
Just a few additional notes:

Now, obviously Condell has received his fair share (and then some) of criticism, especially from the religious right and Islamic fundamentalists looking to silence him going so far as to send him numerous death threats as he reported in an interview with a Dutch Newspaper in 2007.
That said, what's your take on him? Do you consider what he's doing right or wrong? Does it come off as moral superiority or perhaps as righteous religious skepticism and criticism? Pompous ass or articulate "pulpit"?
Secondarily, does he deserve a seat at the "round table" of sorts of the so-called "Four Horsemen" of Atheism (Richard Dawkins, Daniel C. Dennet, Sam Harris and Christopher Hitchens)?
Please give well thought out and well-written replies and do not SPAM this thread with rhetoric, scripture, death threats, or any other juvenile type of response to something you obvious have no business objectively discussing if that's the only input you care to share. Thanks.
