    Funny comedian. Makes a lot of sense, even though I'm Agnostic. Here's a video. Great guy, now gone though from old age: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWiBt-pqp0E

    Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson were Deist.

    Was Jung an Atheist? If so I'd go for him.

    Freud, Darwin, Bertrand Russell, Linus Pauling, Richard Feynman, Carl Sagan, David Suzuki, and (shoot me. Go ahead) Richard Dawkins.
