I'm pretty sure if I asked a fake-atheist to name ten atheist-related figures that inspired them, they'd come up with a predictable, odd, or obviously Googled list.

I've been an atheist for most of my life, and I'm pretty sure I don't have that many atheism-related figures who've inspired me. I'd have a hard time coming up with a list even if I interpreted the question as broadly as possible.

What if it was just "name ten atheists who you find inspiring"?

I'd probably have to do some googling to make sure the list really is composed solely of atheists.

Same here. So if I had to pretend to be a Christian, I'd waffle around a bit just like I do if you ask me that about atheists.
