Your favorite atheists (Fictional or real)

I meant the one in the Sherlock series, though I doubt a man like Holmes would have been religious in a different era or written by a different author. I've read all of those books I don't know how many times. He made reference to god, or at least "creation" as well. I realize I should have been more clear. Anyway, the Sherlock in Sherlock is an even better Sherlock than Doyle's Sherlock if only because he's more modern.

That's fair, although I take umbrage at a 'better' Sherlock.

I would too, if someone else said it. Perhaps better isn't the best word, but I love a Sherlock with a mobile phone, if you know what I mean. I enjoy the newish take on Mycroft as well. There's just a lot more depth, more relationships, more humor, etc. than was in the novels. Try not to take that as a criticism. They are some of my favorite pieces of classic literature.
