The Logical Atheist

Sorry to hear about yesterday's death of philosopher Daniel Dennett at 82. He was a leading "new atheist,"  one of the so-called four horsemen along with Christopher Hitchens (also gone), Sam Harris, and Richard Dawkins. Since Dennett was a consciousness denier , I can't regard him as a true friend of reason and hence atheism. ( What's reason without consciousness and free will? ) So I prefer philosopher Gilbert Ryle , economist Ludwig von Mises , and psychiatrist  Thomas Szasz , but then again, if everything is physical, what does  prefer  even mean?
