It wasn't Homer Simpson, by any chance? I think I remember that episode.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

No, it was a guy called Graham if I remember correctly (it was back when the earth was flat!)

I don't know about favorite, but the priest in this video seems reasonable:

I favor the existentialist atheists. Nietzsche is top on the list simply because he ruthlessly pursues the "God is Dead" theme to its logical conclusions.

I haven't ever thought to categorize people by religion or lack thereof, so this question leaves me kind of blank. I know lots of theists and hold most of them in high regard; the ones I know have, with few exceptions, been very good people. Same for the few atheists that I am aware are atheist. I don't know that I could pick a favorite from those groups. One of my best friends is an atheist, and one of my best friends is a theist. What can I say? I attract awesome people.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
