“Egyptian Islamic theologian and prominent intellectual leader”

Theologian and intellectual leader are mutually exclusive.

The expression in the posting is “prominent intellectual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood” which is indeed what he is. This says nothing about the validity of whatever his intellect produces.

We are atheists. Critical thought and science lead us to the conclusion that gods, demons, reincarnation, the immortal soul and other supernatural beliefs are childish fictions. We value reason, knowledge and the material, intellectual and moral advancement of humanity. Our philosophy is materialist: there is no soul associated with the body, and as for the mind or intellect it too is material because based on neuronal processes. We are moral beings, constantly evolving and responsible for ourselves, as is the humanity to which we belong. We promote secularism and reject any religious involvement in civil institutions.
