    Some movements have no leaders, gurus, or evangelizers. Just people unified by rational ideas about objective realities.

        @Artski @neiltyson Wonderful word "rational". It allows for opinion and conjecture so long as they are arrived at by a process of reason.

        @neiltyson ...After all, an evangelizer doesn't need a pulpit or a TV show. It's just a person sharing a message. Like you. You are one.

        @neiltyson Wouldn't the people unified by rational ideas be "evangelizers," as they share the message of these rational ideas?
