<I disagree that its just me making folks like Dawkins or PZ Myhers influential. >

He's influential with people who like (or hate and like to hear it for their own reasons) to hear the message. Period. Most people in this country don't even know who he is. But Micheal Jackson!? There's someone.

<Why does Michael Shermer have a column in Scientific American? He's not a scientist, doesn't do any scientific research.>

Nor is Scientific American a "scientific journal".

<As for McWhorter, what did change his position so radically? >

1.) Why don't you spell out what he did... I don't get it.

2.) This guy isn't exactly anybody in the field of science... never heard of him... who cares?

You know, you clearly LOOK FOR people involved with opining on religion vs science... no wonder you think there is some big conspiracy.
