Was Marquis de Sade the founder of atheism?
Was Marquis de Sade the founder of atheism?No.Atheism is an inaction. It is something you don’t do (believe in gods).Nobody can be the founder of an inaction.Now, de Sade wrote the Dialogue Between a Priest and a Dying Man, which, in the florid language of the 18th century, sets the foundations of any online discussion about religion and atheism. It also contains some endorsement of sexual freedom and vice in general, which is not related to atheism but to the hypocresy of the society he lived in.This, and other texts of de Sade, are a contribution to rationality, secularism and modernity in general. Of course Voltaire and other philosophers of the Enlightnement contributed more than de Sade but, curiously, many of his texts and ideas are more “ahead of the times” than the ones of these philosophers.Basically, de Sade was a guy from the second half of the 20th century that was born in the 18th. If he was born in the 20th century he probably had been one of the guys promoting the Sexual Revolution and drug experimentation of the 60s and 70s and, maybe, the ideologist of some political revolution as well.He was mostly a non dogmatic anarchist.
Who was the first atheist?
Q: Who was the first ever atheist of the world?A: Ngyla.You have never heard of her. She lived in a tribe in the middle-east some 88,000 years ago. Her fellow tribesman Geng had discovered that if you walked clockwise (not that there were any clocks) around the big rock outside their cave, it once rained. Geng has since made more elaborated ways of walking around the rock, and now he has made the conclusion that the Rock God makes it rain if you appease it with dances and offerings of food through him.One day Geng said to Ngyla, “Geng high priest of rock god. Ngyla must give berries and nookie to Geng, or rock god be angry.Then Ngyla said “Geng stuff rock god up own arse. Rock is rock. Geng is stupid. Ngyla not believe in rock god.And thus Ngyla was the first ever atheist.Well, not exactly, but sometime after one of our cave-dwelling ancestors said “there are gods and we must appease them”, another cave-dwelling ancestor said “I don’t believe you.” We may never know whom or when, but as long as there has been religion, there have been people who said “stuff it, you silly sod”.And the only way to stop them seems to be to get in power so you can burn the “stuff it, you silly sod”-people at the stake for insulting whatever god the people in power profess to believe in.

Who are some famous atheists?
If you were to group atheists with agnostics, you could create a much larger list. Albert Einstein, Carl Sagan, Charles Darwin, Thomas Huxley.If you included skeptic deists, you could include Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, etc.The problem is that scientific atheism is a somewhat new foundation of thought, so not many are known for great atheistic achievements. though Christopher Hitchens has something of a legacy.Atheism may have always existed, but the science behind the argumentation is somewhat new, thanks to initial research by Darwin, Huxley, among others.There have been many people who “doubt” and who reject theism.But not many have come out and embraced the label “atheist”, thanks in part to some rather loud mouthed Islamophobes like Dawkins and Harris.Even people like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs never claimed to be atheist by definition - just to say they were skeptical and questioning.Isaac Asimov was an outspoken atheist and he had quite a resume.You could also go way back in history, to Greek times, for a pre-industrial, pre-scientific and pre-enlightenment era. The Epicureans, Samkhya, Diagoras, Democritus, etc. didn’t understand scientific atheism, but they still rejected the idea of a god, preferring a material approach to religion.

What is the religion of the founders of Google?
If you look at his previous statements, Sergey Brin appears to be a singulitarian. Whether this is a religion or not is debatable, but let’s look at the statements:“The perfect search engine… would be like the mind of God.”“if you had all the world's information directly attached to your brain, or an artificial brain that was smarter than your brain, you'd be better off.”“it’s credible to imagine a leap as great as that from hunting through library stacks to a Google session, when we leap from today’s search engines to having the entirety of the world’s information as just one of our thoughts.”He’s careful in that unlike Ray Kurzweil, he keeps things inherently vague, particularly with regards to dates, but it seems to be the same belief system about the future: that we’re heading towards creating or becoming some AI god(s).
