54:36Now PlayingOn July 11, 2020, Michael Sherlock, the Executive Director of Atheist Alliance International (AAI), posted a tweet saying the following: “Religion is a retarded relic that really needs archiving in humanity’s library of bad ideas. #Atheist”. AAI is one of the largest international atheist organizations in the world and the only atheist organization with “Special Consultative status” at the United Nations. When a critic replied “Perhaps you could consider retiring the word retarded,” Sherlock replied “Na. It works.” and “I am an asshole. I help people escape death but the words I use define me. This objection to me is privilege manifest. People with real problems don’t worry about me using the word ‘retard’. What a cunt.” The twitter exchange continued. On July 16th it was announced on twitter by AAI that they had suspended Sherlock without pay for 1 month, and he faces further disciplinary action. Affiliate atheist organizations and advisory board members of AAI have broken ties with the organization over the incident. Sherlock made a public apology for calling the critic a cunt.
