Who are your athiest/agnostic heros?

It seems to me that we, as non-believers, tend to put people on a pedestal for expressing views that are similar to ours. Who are the people whom you put on a pedestal? Who do you feel is the best voice for your particular version of non-belief?

Christopher Hitchens of course.

Hitchens, Sagan, Carlin, Dawkins, Dillahunty, Harris. Many more also.
I have to always add Jerry DeWitt. He's the first graduate of the clergy progect and I found his videos on You Tube when I wasn't sure yet on the god issue. In just a short time I said "this man is me" and I knew I was atheist. It was only then that I knew what to call my lack of belief. Dan Barker gets more than an honable mention here. I like all these guys and more.

My hero's have all been family members. I may admire some people, but they are not my heroes.

Mine is Butterfly McQueen, one of the few prominent African American non believers we have. She is mostly known for her role in 'Gone With The Wind', and she had a number of other mostly racially stereotyped parts, that forced her to eventually give up acting. She once said, "As my ancestors are free from slavery, I am free from the slavery of religion".
