I like a lot of different atheists, but most of those are for reasons that have nothing to do with their atheism. The only one I can think of off the top of my head that has anything to do with atheism is Ricky Gervais.
Why is that? I personally enjoy his work. I became a fan when he exposed a certain horrible person in the atheist community who shall remain nameless.After I spent some time reading through his work, I really gained a lot of respect for him.
I wasn't really thinking of comedians when I made my OP but now that I think about it, I would also add Patton Oswalt to the list.

I have heard Matt Dillhunty and several others mention him but I haven't had a chance to check out any of this work yet.
You mean how falsely accused Michael shermer of being a rapist?
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
