This is the lede (also called the leed) and it should be longer than a paragraph, but no longer than two paragraph. You do not have to cite things in the lede if you cite it in the body of the article. It just looks neater.
I'm sure there are a lot of nice images of David, and we can get a hold of them when the page is almost done. David Fitzgerald is an American author, public speaker, historical researcher, and atheist activist.
Biography
[edit]Fitzgerald currently holds a degree in history from California State University, Fresno and has been actively researching the historicity of Jesus for over ten years. Formerly an associate member of the defunct Committee for the Scientific Examination of Religion, Fitzgerald now serves on the boards of the San Francisco Atheists[1] and the San Francisco branch of the Center for Inquiry.[2] He is also the director and founder of the first Atheist Film Festival, as well as San Francisco's oldest Darwin Day celebration, Evolutionpalooza.[3]
Career
[edit]Public speaking
[edit]Fitzgerald lectures across the nation at secular events and universities. He is best known for his multimedia presentations "The Ten Thousand Christs and the Evaporating Jesus" as well as "The Complete Heretic's Guide to Western Religion". In November 2010 he presented his research at Skepticon 3 in a presentation titled Examining the Existence of a Historical Jesus.[4]
Writing
[edit]Fitzgerald entered the non-fiction arena with his self-published book Nailed: Ten Christian Myths That Show Jesus Never Existed At All.[5] Nailed details what he presents as ten myths surrounding Jesus and aims to show evidence that "Jesus may have been a figure of legend".
