I only subscribe to one atheism/religion channel and that is Thunderfoot's channel. https://www.youtube.com/user/Thunderf00t He just posted an interview with Laurence Krauss.

Which ones do you guys subscribe to?

Hemant Mehta's channel (aka the Friendly Atheist). Uploads often:

As a Christian, I enjoy The Joe Rogan Experience, because he is so anti-religion, especially Christianity, that he provides a completely different perspective which I enjoy listening to. It doesn't hurt that I am also an MMA fan.

Bart Ehrman's a top notch agnostic and he has his own youtube channel.

Cultofdusty is hilarious.

I'm not a fan of this channel. It's not so much the content of the videos themselves, but the disposition of the host, which is often too abrasive for my tastes.

EDIT: I'm subscribed to DarkMatter2525, JaclynGlenn, QualiaSoup, TheBibleReloaded, TheThinkingAtheist, and Thunderf00t.

Totally agree with the abrasive nature of Cultofdusty, I couldn't listen to that channel even if he was preaching Christ. TheBibleRealoaded was entertaining from the little I've seen, even if a little immature, but a million times more listenable than Cultofdusty.

I enjoy listening to atheist channels, it's good to hear other people's perspective on things that are completely the opposite of your own.

A lot of the YT channels I watch are inter-connected groups of atheists and theists (a lot of creationists) that make videos about one another - it's a lot like watching bad reality TV shows actually! Now that YT allows broadcasting and saving of Google Hangouts*, a lot of content is free-form discussions among these groups of people, and occasionally some really interesting topics some up. S/N ratio is rather poor though, and there is a lot of mud slinging etc.

A small but growing channel I like is CapriciousBlackBox, a Canadian atheist who presents arguments as a thoughtful layperson. Deliberately low on drama.

*It just struck me (if anyone was interested), Google Plus / Hangouts would be another, and more interactive, way of communicating. I've never gotten involved in any myself (I suppose I'm a little camera shy, or even mic-shy!). Didn't there used to be a Skype group for RGT, or am I just thinking of the poker sub forums doing this?
Is anyone very active on YT or Google+ (or elsewhere)?

Haha, yes. If there was ever such a thing as a 'redneck' atheist, it's Dusty.

Other than that I've got Thunderfoot and Sean Carroll's channels in my subscription list. Big Think and TED do occasionally have stuff to say about theological stuff as well.

Beaucoup I'm quite active on YT. Got a couple of videos on two separate channels. Not atheist related though. Just travel and lifestyle vlogs.

No real "atheist" or "theist" channels on my sub list, only car and tech stuff. I generally don't think of atheism as something that needs "missionaries"; it is just a natural consequence of the current alternatives being nonsensical. I'll caveat that if I had lived in a "secular" but de facto theocracy like the US or Turkey I would probably have felt a greater need for peers.

Other than that I'm addicted to news and science, but I tend to prefer text (as it is much faster) and podcasts (as it is easier to combine with other stuff) over videos. That being said TED certainly has a lot of good material, even though it might have gotten a bit too fluffy in recent times.

Yeah, this - I listen to a fair few podcasts, lectures and whatnot, but I have to be doing something else as well, or my mind wanders.

IIRC, TED are still mostly fine, it's the TEDx stuff you have to watch out for. They've let the cachet of the franchise get a bit diluted (eg Sheldrake).

Pauls Ego:

Phil Galfond- who hasn't posted a video in years.
Game of Thrones- of course.
Remi Gaillard- the KING of You Tube.

OP was asking for channels that are relevant to RGT.

C0nc0rdance posts evolution stuff, and takes on a lot of pseudoscience hoodoo.
Evid3nc3 does lots of RGT-type stuff. He has a pretty compelling (and long) series called Why I Am No Longer a Christian.
+1 for QualiaSoup, who puts out great stuff
KnownNoMore makes interesting and informative videos on philosophy
BozmanScience was 2011 HS teacher of the year or something. He makes good high school-level biology vids.
bdwilson1000 and dprjones are also good RGT-themed uploaders.

I actually watch few new videos, but I'll binge a few, then not check in for a couple months.

dprjones, conc0rdance, thunderf00t, aronra, HogTieChamp and a couple of rotating guests present the bi-weekly 'The Magic Sandwich Show'. Depending on the topic, it can be a bit dry, but they do sometimes expand beyond the primary focus of atheism/religion. dprjones and conc0rdance rarely make new content, which is a shame (as evidenced by their existing work).

I do watch a few creationist channels, partly for entertainment value but I also think it can be useful to understand what those with contradictory beliefs are actually saying. A side benefit of this for me was to realise how reasonable and rational other Christians can be, when contrasted with some of the crazier YEC's.

(The same can be said for keeping up with those holding alternate political views, sadly there is rather too much overlap in this area for my politically secular desires)


ETA: not on YouTube, but via Podcast: the Dogma Debate.

Is this the guy who would correspond with a professor or some such, and slowly lost his faith? I think I've made reference to him before as the guy who said that the holy spirit was just in his mind, not sure if it is him?

yeah, pretty sure. I think he said the professor at first tried to talk him out of his investigation (atheist reverse psychology ftw)

IIRC, he had this super long video, maybe it was a playlist, which doesn't seem to be on his page anymore. I watched several hours of it. He's the guy I made reference to you in the other thread when we were discussing cognitive dissonance in people, which is what he is claiming.

It is a playlist and it's still there. https://www.youtube.com/user/Evid3nc3

Gotcha.

I really bums me out the QualiaSoup, TheraminTrees, and Evidenc3 don't make regular content any longer. TheMessianicManic is one of my newer favorites. Steve Shives is great for his 'An Atheist Reads' series where he give a chapter by chapter atheist rebuttal of many popular Christian apologetic books. His '5 Stupid Things' series is good for the lulz, but he's gotten a pretty high noise ratio as of late with a bunch of wrestling bull****....ugh. I like Dusty in small doses...he's abrasive as hell, but every now an then says the funniest ****.

Non atheist related...anything John or Hank Green do wins the internet. Love those guys.

These are so good...I'm hooked. Except for the one on Lord of the Rings. You shall not pass!...as a good critique of my childhood favorite.

Just NBA and Zac Scott('cause of my nephew)
