Take a look at the subject of the OC Weekly‘s cover story: Bruce Gleason of the Backyard Skeptics!


Bruce Gleason, a 57-year-old Villa Park resident, has become something of a legend in the community of godless Orange Countians who read his quotes in news reports, devour his writing on his website and watch his public-access, cable-TV show on atheism.

When asked why Backyard Skeptics doesn’t pour more resources into attacking Islam, Gleason chuckles. “We’re not stupid,” he says. “We’re not going to put up pictures of Mohammad. . . .

Christians or the FBI are not going to do that. They might waterboard you.”
It’s a positive article, though Ray Comfort makes a cameo near the end… overall, pretty good publicity for Gleason and his group.
