Anyone in history...which ones do you admire?
Never really thought about it, honestly. I never really felt the need to read up on atheism or agnosticism. The only reason I think I would really need to is if I were to try to convince someone else to go agnostic or atheist. That sounds too much like missionary work to me. “I ain’t about that life.”
I do have some least favorite atheists, though. Any Mormon prophet (with the exception of the schizophrenic ones) had to have been atheist, but liars. Mormons believe prophets speak directly to God. If a man is called to be a prophet, and acts the part, but never actually speaks to God, yet claims to, that man is A)a non-believer, and B)a fraud.
I enjoy Neil Degrasse Tyson...as the other amazing names everyone has mentioned
