Atheism, in its broadest sense, is a lack of belief in a deity or deities: the opposite of theism. This encompasses both people who assert that there are no gods and those who make no claim about whether gods exist or not. Narrower definitions of atheism typically regard as atheists only those people who assert the nonexistence of gods, leaving other nonbelievers classified as agnostics or non-theists.
Although many of those who identify themselves as atheists share a common skeptical attitude regarding spiritual or supernatural claims, atheistic beliefs may derive from variety of personal, philosophical, social, and historical rationales. While there is a tendency among self-described atheists toward secular philosophies such as humanism, naturalism and materialism, there is no single system of philosophy to which all atheists can be said to adhere, nor does atheism have any institutionalized rituals or behaviors

I don't, if you're asking about people on here. I don't keep track of who is atheist, whatever, but Salman Rushdie is an atheist. Basically, if you are famous and an atheist, you're best off to keep your mouth shut about it because people hate that and it would ruin your celebrity.
