My vote: Freud. Why? Because he gave rise to the examination of the self/ego and its dynamics in Western culture. Buddhist zazen has long had an examination of the self but the degree of describing and showing the nature of the psychological self wasn't there until Freud. Freud's work, by the way, is being very much considered against. Note that
http://www.positiveatheism.org/writ/martin.htm
says: "British philosopher Bertrand Russell, Austrian psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud, and Sartre are among the 20th century's most influential atheists."
