For me it tends to be a lot of scientists. Dr. Phil Mason aka Thunderf00t, Lawrence Krauss, Neil DeGrasse Tyson (although he focuses more on popularizing science.) There's also Stephen Hawking and etc. Then there's a plethora of comedians and other internet atheists that inspire as well, from again the Thunderf00t to ArmouredSkeptic to AronRa to Potholer54 to even the big fat jolly TheAmazingAtheist aka Banana Man and many others.
I was inspired to be atheist by Jesus. Being omnipotent, he couldn't have had no role in my belief that he is all crap.
But seriously, Many people who I regard as inspirational for atheism aren't atheists. It's not how what they believed specifically would appear to modern eyes that makes them inspirational. It's what they did to test what was generally believed around them that was inspirational.
