No heroes of atheism.
I have heroes of science. Dawkins' science books are awesome. NdGT and Bill Nye are the absolute shit. I love watching Lawrence Krauss.
I don't value anyone for their lack of belief in a god. I value them for the way they think.
Anthony Magnabosco is a perfect example. His street epistemology stuff is super compelling. If I had the patience to keep calm in the face of absolute stupidity (or the capacity to tolerate hypocrisy or intentional dissonance), I'd employ those tactics.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
