Probably; for much of history (including in Shakespeare's time) it was illegal to be an atheist, so most non-believers would probably keep very quiet about it!

In more recent times; several Nobel literature laureates are openly atheists and one of the greatest philosophers in history (Bertrand Russell) was also a non-believer.

Does the book Romeo and Juliet revolve around the love of william shakespeare?

No. That was the plot of the movie Shakespeare in Love. In fact the story of Romeo and Juliet was much older than Shakespeare, and it would be just as ridiculous for someone in Shakespeare's day to have claimed it was about them as it would for someone today to do so. "I've written a story about Romeo and Juliet in 2013 and it's based on my life experiences." Sure it is.


What is the name of one person that was thought of as writing William Shakespeare's plays?

Apart from William Shakespeare? The truth is that everyone without exception in Shakespeare's days and 99% of people now know that Shakespeare wrote his plays. The other one percent have weird notions that someone else wrote Shakespeare's plays. In the 19th century it was Francis Bacon. Nowadays it is more likely to be Edward de Vere. It doesn't matter because it is impossible that Bacon or de Vere or anyone other than Shakespeare wrote them.

If you have the money, you can travel the world interviewing people to find out if they have heard of either one. My guess is that you will have to go into some pretty remote jungles to find someone who has never heard of Shakespeare.
