Aron Ra
http://www.aronra.com/

Aron Ra is one of the "YouTube atheists" and an advocate for rationalism in science classrooms.  He grew up in an exclusively creationist environment where he felt like a lonely outcast just for understanding evolution, let alone accepting it.  Being raised in a mostly-Mormon family encouraged him to explore other denominations and eventually non-Abrahamic spiritualism before rejecting faith-based beliefs altogether.  He was drawn into activism when the Religious Right dominated his state's Board of Education, and began undermining education in history, health, science, and social studies.

Aron's videos often focus on evolution and the evidence indicating an interrelated tree of life.  His series summarizing the "Foundational Falsehoods of Creationism" and his subsequent series, "Falsifying Phylogeny" (including the "Phylogeny Challenge") have been mirrored, featured, referenced, and recommended by many professional scientists, secularists, and educators, and has attracted more than 60,000 subscribers to his YouTube channel.

Roedy Green (Canadian Mind Products)
https://www.mindprod.com/religion/religion.html

Roedy Green is one of those people who has a knack for cutting through the nonsense and exposing any real problems and motives at play.  Although categorizing his web site under "blogs" doesn't do it justice (because he provides so much useful information about a wide range of topics, including Java software development, and also a programming language called "Abundance" which he created in 1980s), we find that the perspectives he shared from the "religion" section of his web site fit best here.

Starts with a BANG!
https://www.scienceblogs.com/startswithabang/

Ethan Siegel, a Theoretical Astrophysicist, Science Writer and Communicator, expert in (some aspects of) dark matter and dark energy, physical cosmology, and sometimes professor, teacher and educator.

Ethan's philosophy:  "When we ask the question of where the Universe comes from, physicists and philosophers are often asking two different questions.  I can give you the answers from a physics viewpoint, at least as far as they are understood.  But although our answers are finite, our curiosity isn't, necessarily.  Just because we don't have the answers doesn't mean there aren't questions worth asking or thinking about."
