The Happiest Beings are Nihilists, Part I: Zetosophers. The zetosopher is an atheistic being from another planet. A highly ethical, tough, no-nonsense thinker who takes a one-of-a-kind critical look at human thinking.
The Gospel of Jesus and Mary--Jesus and Mary Magdalene are both atheists on the planet of the lovable namian people, who teach living happily according to the golden rule in a world without god. Their world thrives by living the golden rule. Thanks to their teachings, no one fights over silly dogmas. The namians are not just happier than human beings, but healthier, more productive and richer.
Mrs. Darwin's Dilemma--a fictional account of the lives of the Darwins. Charles Darwin, his friends the Wallaces, and their amazing servant, Doubting Thomas, are all lovable atheists. Guided by the atheists, the theistic Mrs. Darwin convinces herself that living the golden rule is much more important than faith in dogmas and that science and Ockham's razor are the most reliable guides to truth. She shows incredible courage in admitting she was wrong to her all but infallible husband. Her church-going declines, but her marriage to her wonderful and brilliant husband, threatened by his explosive book, is greatly improved, by just freely adopting these simple changes.
Our Lovable Mirror Image--Cara Adora Lotte is the atheistic heroine, ranked the #1 person in the world of 2060 by the superhuman zetosophers. Brilliant and completely adorable. She lives the scientific method 24x7. She loves her adopted kids unselfishly and they return the favor. No surprise that her kids are the best behaved in the world. Her coworkers love her. Everyone who meets her loves her. Loved by two men, RFK, the President of the United States and the Duke of Omnium, both of whom become atheists and better men under her tutelage. The namians are atheistic heroes from another planet in this novel. They inspire the atheistic humans to be even greater.
Coming soon. The Ineffable Prince of Denmark, with Hamlet as the worthy atheistic hero, who risks everything to benefit others. Most people assume that only god can inspire such devotion, self-sacrifice, and nobility. Hamlet shows that idea is false. Other atheistic heroes in this book include Hamlet's noble friend Horatio and the kindly King of Norway and his exceptional daughter, Hamlet's betrothed.

i'm no longer fullyyt particular what your question is, yet i am going to contact upon what you're saying, starting up with the 2d area first, depending on my own recommendations the following. i believe Jesus' message interior the bible is a astonishing one elementary. "Love your enemy", "take care of others as you'd be dealt with", a popular loving for everyone, humility, and so on. i attempt to stay through a number of those messages. even if, i'm an atheist. i don't believe the tale the bible tells is genuine. i don't be counted on god, and if Jesus became a authentic man or woman, i don't believe he became divine. A logician with some good moral recommendations, truly, yet no longer a divine being. As a short word, from what i have study, the former testomony isn't a really non violent or exemplary peice of writing. it is extremely especially violent, so i do not fairly supply the bible any factors for that 0.5. i visit even subtract some. Do a lot of people pass way, way too a strategies with the bible's message? convinced. Do a lot of people condemn it immedidately because they believe it to be pretend? for sure. yet i'm especially particular maximum folk are not on those extremes. As on your remark about women individuals interior the bible...nicely, there are parts of the bible that talk fairly and nicely of ladies individuals. There are also parts that are not so powerful, starting up as early as Genesis 3 (husband regulations over spouse), and is going throughout to Deuteronomy and Leviticus (all kinds of stuff about stoning non-virgins to demise and such). As with many different topics, womens' position is extensively variable reckoning on the position interior the bible you're interpreting. so a strategies as i comprehend, all 3 Abrahamic religions have about an same issues to assert about women individuals.

Several of Hemingway's chief male characters, in almost any novel by Vonnegut, major characters in novels and 'non-fiction' by Mark Twain--there are really a great many by American novelists and even more by the Brits, the Canadians, the French, and Scandinavians.

Not the main hero but at least one of the main character is:
Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky
Brothers Karamazov by Dostoevsky
Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand

Hmmm. In these cases, the main characters have no religion at least...
1984
Great Gatsby
Huckleberry Fin
A Farewell to Arms
Although none of these characters are strikingly heroic. Hmm.
