Who is the best at not believing in a god? Me, I would put my not believing in a god against anybody.

If the recently dead are allowed, I would go with Pat Tillman. For those who don't remember, he was a player for the NFL Arizona Cardinals who turned down a multi-million dollar contract so he could enlist in the US Army and fight against terrorism. He was officially killed in Afghanistan by friendly fire although many believe he was fragged (killed deliberately by his own men).
That kind of selflessness is hard to come by. Pat Tillman is the ultimate destroyer of the, "no atheists in foxholes" nonsense and a true hero.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Why isn't my name on that list?
JFM, I never make onto the popularity polls.

There's a largish rock in my front garden. It has never given any indication that it believes in gods, minds its own business, and doesn't go about pissing people off for the sole purpose of pissing people off.
It's got my vote.
