Person A is the person you love dearly and/or love the most.
Person B is the person that loves you the most and/or loves you the most.
Person A and person B doesn't necessarily have to be someone in your life, you can make up a hypothetic person if you have any doubts on who to choose.
You're a great swimmer but you can save only one of the two people. Who will you save, why?
Person B. Seems like a choice between desire and duty.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Let them both drown and go through their wallets.
Dying to live, living to die.

The person I love the most. I think I'm more wanted than loved nowadays. It's rare for someone to love me. Platonic love I guess, but that seems more conditional. It's basically a "we grow up together" or "you're my kid". Rather than finding someone right for you just because they're right for you. One day I may find mutual love again... but maybe love is overrated anyways. At least because it doesn't last.
Music may as well love me. It touches me deeper and more consistently than people do, most of the time. Love is rare and love is fragile and love can't even be sought easily let alone found easily.
Unrequited love is no fun... but loving someone who doesn't love you back is a hell of a lot better than someone loving you but you not loving them back. I'd definitely rather love than be loved if I had to pick one (I'm selfish like that), but to be honest... both are shite. Without mutual love it's no fun really.
And although loving someone but them not loving you back is nicer than the other way around.... it's much better for everyone involved when you stop bothering them about it.

Person A would be my wife (though she swims better than I).
"Person" B would be my dog, that knows how to swim.
What did you mean to ask when you constructed this sentence?
"Person B is the person that
loves you the most and/or
loves you the most."
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Don't have time to read the OP but I'm guessing the correct answer is you'd save the atheist.

They'd both drown while I was reading out questions to determine who loved who the most.

Aside from there likely being a lot of overlap, I'd save the one I love the most. Because I love them the most. Not much of a sadistic choice.
I once thought about how we value people. Generally the young are valued over the elderly. However if the elderly is your beloved grandfather, and the kid is a troublemaking, fouthmouthed, hooligan, people are still likely to choose the elderly person. There's a more sadistic choice, perhaps. Save someone who may only have a few years left to live, or save someone who might be reformed someday.
