There have been a lot of famous non believers and atheists. Below is a short list of some well known agnostics.
Bertrand Russell (1872 – 1970) was a famous British philosopher, mathematician, and historian. He is the author of many books including Why I Am Not a Christian and What I Believe. Although Russell considered himself an agnostic many people consider him to be an atheist. In 1950 he won the Nobel Prize in Literature. Bertrand Russell died on February 2, 1970 of influenza at his home in Wales.
Thomas Henry Huxley (1825 – 1895) was an English Biologist and defender of Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection which earned him the nickname Darwin’s Bulldog. Huxley coined the word agnostic to describe is position on theology. He came to the conclusion that the existence of a higher power or god is unknowable. Thomas Huxley died in 1895 and was buried in North London.
Robert G. Ingersoll (1833-1899) was a veteran of the Civil War, author, and political activist. Some of his writing are Some Mistakes of Moses and Walt Whitman. Ingersoll was known as The Great Agnostic for his defense of agnosticism. He passed away at the age of 65 due to heart failure.
Charles Darwin (1809 – 1882) was an English naturalist who wrote many books including his most famous book On The Origin of Species. Although he struggled with faith for most of his life he described his beliefs on theology as agnostic later in his life. Some of his other popular books include Decent of Man and The Variation of Animals and Plants under Domestication. Darwin is buried in Westminster Abbey close to Isaac Newton.
Albert Einstein (1879 – 1955) was a scientist and philosopher who in 1921 received the Nobel Prize in physics for his work in theoretical physics. Born in Germany, Einstein immigrated to United States to escape Nazi persecution and became an American citizen in 1940. Einstein revolutionized physics with his theories of Special Relativity and General Relativity. He died at the age of 76 at Princeton Hospital in New Jersey.
Stephen Jay Gould (1941 – 2002) was historian of science and evolutionary biologist. He wrote many books including Rocks of Ages: Science and Religion in the Fullness of Life and Full House: The Spread of Excellence From Plato to Darwin.
