I could be totally off the mark but I feel like it could be more of an American thing to have these atheist personalities that people follow. Maybe because atheism is still viewed pretty negatively there, whereas here in the UK it's viewed by your average person on the street as normal; people are generally apathetic to religion unless they're a fundie.
I dunno. Most of my friends are atheists and I don't recall ever having a conversation about anyone except maybe Hitchens and Dawkins (I did see Dawkins at the Oxford debating hall once).
