I wasn't sure exactly where to post this but, If you like dirt, here's a good read:

American Atheist Plagiarizes Acharya's Work?

"American Atheist Board Member Appears to Plagiarize Acharya's Work from The Christ Conspiracy

I stumbled across the article below while reading about the survey on Religious Literacy in America and taking an interest in a piece written by American Atheist President, Dave Silverman. While browsing articles on the American Atheist website I discovered what appears to be a serious case of plagiarism.

The following article purports to have been written by one "Edward Kagin," who is a lawyer and member of American Atheists' Board of Directors, serving as National Legal Director.

The comparisons to the original are provided below the quote in blue. As we can see, it's a virtual lift from Acharya's book The Christ Conspiracy: The Greatest Story Ever Sold (1999).

Pre-Christian Christmas Stories with Other Gods "

"If Acharya is so wrong then why are highly respected atheists such as "Edward Kagin," who is a lawyer and member of American Atheists' Board of Directors plagiarizing her work and trying to pass it off as their own? Doesn't this fly in face of those atheists who are so rigidly against Acharya S and her work?"

Yes, it most certainly does indeed! Whoops!

Wow, it's very clear that the article Pre-Christian Christmas Stories with Other Gods by Edwin Kagin posted at the American Atheist website was plagiarized and taken from Acharya S.
