Ones who have influenced me are:

Richard Dawkins

Sam Harris (he's sexy, too!)

Christopher Hitchens

Matt Dillahunty (The Atheist Experience)

The Thinking Atheist (Seth)

Edward Current (famous Youtube atheist satirist)

Stephen Hawking (although he's agnostic)

Darkmatter2525 (famous youtube atheist satirist)

and that's all for me

well being influential is not necessarily a good quality, Lenin was an atheist... he was influential and a negative character.... i assume you are asking if their are atheists who had positive influence on the world

the answer is probably yes, and i bet many good and influential are and where atheists

but usually they don't flaunt their atheism, since it's not the center of their life work.
