Terroja "The Amazing Atheist" Kincaid (or as he ironically calls himself, the God of the Godless) is an atheist who has been making videos on [[YouTube]] since joining the site on November 20, 2006, making him a platform [[Long Runners|Long Runner]] for the platform. Although the subject matter of his earlier videos centered almost entirely around atheism and anti-theism, he rarely deals with those topics today. Instead, most of his current videos are either social commentary or purely comedic in nature.

Although the subject matter of his earlier videos centered almost entirely around atheism and anti-theism, he rarely deals with those topics today. Instead, most of his current videos are either social commentary or purely comedic in nature.
He has also written three books: ''In Defense of Evil'', ''Scumbag: Musings of a Subhuman'', and ''Final Revelation''. Like most of his videos, the books are part philosophical, part comedic, and part autobiographical.

The Amazing Atheist never has even the slightest qualm about speaking his mind, despite sounding offensive to various targets. This is precisely why he's won well over 100,000 subscribers over the course of his [[YouTube]] career, replacing [http://www.youtube.com/user/patcondell Pat Condell] as the website's most popular atheist. That hasn't stopped him from making quite a few enemies, especially because of his strident anti-feminism.

When not using the Amazing Atheist moniker, he often goes by T.J., Terroja, or [[That Guy With the Glasses|The Distressed Watcher]]. His [[YouTube]] channel can be found [http://www.youtube.com/user/TheAmazingAtheist here]. Though he was forced to take down most of his older videos in early 2009 due to YouTube's increasingly strict censorship policies, you can watch a few hundred of them [http://www.youtube.com/user/TheAmazingArchivist here] and [http://www.youtube.com/user/TheAmazingTerroja here] if you are so inclined.▼

* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: There seem to be several, but TJ and his brother Scotty have remained the most constant throughout the years.
