Big question! Several of the ancient Greek philosophers were believed to be atheists (although they had different gods not to believe in from the modern ones). Socrates was executed for "impiety" - he was accused of not believing in the gods. Moving to the 18th century, Baron d'Holbach and Jacques-André Naigeon were openly atheistic writers and David Hume developed a rationalist philosophy. The French Revolution introduced a secular atmosphere for European philosophers such as Ludwig Feuerbach, Arthur Schopenhauer, Karl Marx, and Friedrich Nietzsche. In the modern day, Richard Dawkins is probably the most famous atheist living, but Christopher Hitchens has also written critical books on religion.
