diğer inançlara oranla küçük bir nüfus olsalar bile ateistlerin sanılanın tam aksine insanlığa büyük faydaları olduğunu gösterir. dünya'da bir çok ateist bilim adamı ve dehalar vardır. ateistlerin dünyayı anlayıp hükmetmekte dindarlardan ne kadar ileride olduğunu gösteren bir çalışmadır. ülkemizde de ateist sayısı yükseldikçe bilim, sanat ve felsefe gibi alanlarda avrupa seviyesini yakalayacağımızı umuyorum. sıralı tam listeyi aşağıdaki linkte bulabilirsiniz.

Hans Bethe (19062005): German-American nuclear physicist, and Nobel laureate in physics for his work on the theory of stellar nucleosynthesis.[19] A versatile theoretical physicist, Bethe also made important contributions to quantum electrodynamics, nuclear physics, solid-state physics and astrophysics. During World War II, he was head of the Theoretical Division at the secret Los Alamos laboratory which developed the first atomic bombs. There he played a key role in calculating the critical mass of the weapons, and did theoretical work on the implosion method used in both the Trinity test and the "Fat Man" weapon dropped on Nagasaki, Japan.[20]

Paul Broca (18241880): French physician, surgeon, anatomist, and anthropologist. Broca's work also contributed to the development of physical anthropology, advancing the science of anthropometry.[40]
Rodney Brooks (1954-): Australian-American computer scientist and roboticist.[41]
Sheldon Brown (19442008): Bicycle mechanic and technical authority on almost every aspect of bicycles.[42]
Ruth Mack Brunswick (18971946): American psychologist, a close confidant of and collaborator with Sigmund Freud.[43]

olaya hangi pencereden baktığınızla alakalı durum. sadece ateistlerden değil hemen her kesimden büyük dehalar çıkmıştır, çıkmaya da devam edecektir.
tek bir örnek vermek gerekirse; bugün psikoloji biliminin babaları kabul edilen çoğu bilim adamı (freud, adler, erikson, rank vs.)yahudi'dir. bu noktadan hareketle yahudilerin insan psikolojisinden en iyi anlayan kimseler olduğu yargısına varabilmek ne kadar mümkünse, tanrı inancı olmayan kimselerin bilimde, sanatta coşacakları yargısına varabilmek o kadar mümkündür. mesela; güney kore nüfusunun yaklaşık %40'ı ateist. bu korelilerin hepsi mi dahi, söz konusu %40'ın içinde hiç mi dingil, hiç mi apaçi, hiç mi bir baltaya sap olmamış kese kağıdı yok? kaldı ki; deha-zeka-yetenek adına ne derseniz deyin, işte o cevher farklı bir şeydir, inanç farklı bir şeydir. ikisini aynı terazide tartmak abesle iştigaldir.
