The only human being to have won 2 unshared Nobel Prizes was an atheist.

[The Valkyrie]

Probably most Nobel winners (in the sciences) for the last 70 years, have been atheists.

Here's another great human.

Norman Borlaug. Called "the man who saved a billion lives".

His research in agriculture has saved countless lives. He won the Nobel in 1970.

I would say a larger number than anyone thinks were actually closet atheists
