Actually, we can't be ONE HUNDRED percent sure that some of them are atheists....
But I do like the story about how one of the producers of the show Star Trek told Gene Roddenberry that he needed to have a chaplain on the Enterprise, to which Gene simply replied, "No, I don't."

They were all deists who had quotes about 'God' that are mistakenly used by Christians to say they were Christian. There are a few names I know would roll in their graves if they knew they were thought of that way. Albert Einstein was raised Jewish and, not only said a few things about 'God', but also said the Judeo-Christian version was unrealistic.
Thomas Jefferson claimed to be a deist b/c that was the only 'knowledge' he had at the time (all his writings clearly show/state that he did not believe in the same deity described in the Bible) and B. Franklin attended parties thrown by Satanists when he was in London.

I'm not sure that they were Atheists, but they didn't (don't in Billy Joel's case) parade their faith around. I seem to remember that Lincoln prayed on several occasions during the War, and I don't think that Franklin was without faith, although he may have been disenfranchised with the options of the day.

Van Gogh was not an athiest, he was actually the son of a pastor and he preached until 20 years old.
Albert Einstein referred to the universe as 'god'.

They all had writings published. Einstein wasn't an Athiest, and the religious philosophy of others on that list is questionable.

They weren't Christians.
You can't say that they were atheists because some of them it isn't a sure thing (like Lincoln - I can't figure out what he really thought). And some (like Jefferson) were Deists not atheists.

Well, some of them were very obviously atheist, some were agnostic and some were deist. Some of them you cant even say for sure what they believe.
So, what I'm going to say, is that they were all skeptical... that's it.

If it has to do with their faiths, then "nothing." There are deists, agnostics, atheists and borderline Christians on the list.
Edit: I'm a big Billy Joel fan, but do he and Roddenberry really belong on that list of accomplished men and women??
