        Well Woody Allen
        Penn and Teller
        The Mythbusters.

        But they’re not really Philosophers

      • KC Superstar says:

        It would depend on how you define “philospher.” If you mean anybody who is an atheist, than it would be (in my opinion):

        1) Carl Sagan.
        2) Richard Dawkins.
        3) Anthony Flew before he became a deist.

        The only one I know of is Nietchze. (And I probably butchered his name, so I apologise.) As for others, I’m pretty out of the philosophy-circle at the moment, so I’ll have to get back to you once I finally get to delve into that particular subject of studies. (I don’t have a philosophy class in my high school, so I’m stuck to buying books about it until college, pretty much.)

      • BlueOctagons says:

        I don’t know if they’re the best or most famous, but I like Nietszche, Ayn Rand, and Voltairine de Cleyre (not many have read her, I don’t think–she’s an anarchist as well).

      • Mayor "JD" says:

        Richard Dawkins
        Ann Rynd
        Jim Darwin

        None that I know of, because their fame will cease to excist now or later. Knowing that they haven’t achieved anything before death. Name three, won’t bring you fortune, listening to their words of wisdom won’t let you go beyond the grave. People come and people go, they themselves don’t last forever.

      • Elizabeth W says:

        Carl Sagan, Spinoza (god as Nature so essentially considered atheistic/natural pantheism), and for contempory times Daniel Dennett.

        don’t forget George Carlin…stand-up philosopher.
        Julia Sweeny, too.
