You don't become known publicly as influential without being a voice of authority. The fact that many recognize him as being influential, means he must influence someone. He can be considered the high priest of the anti-God establishment. Of course I mean the previous sentence as semi sarcastic, but seriously he is someone that atheists push as a voice that speaks for them.
Books are an interesting tool.
Some become influential, some are just stories.
I wonder how religion would be, if they didn't have a special book that got pushed on people...
