Who would that be?
It could be anyone. Christopher Reeve. Ian McClellan. Why does this matter? What is the significance of monuments in this discussion?
I don't know it it is silly. I posted on the thread to find out what others think. So far, no one convinced me that atheism is an absence of something rather than another false religion.
That's fine. What I contend was silly was this statement of yours: "The answer is, an atheist monument is absence of a monument. An atheist bumper sticker is absence of a bumper sticker." I'll ask again. Do you really believe this?

Yes, I do. If atheism is absence of a belief that it can only be expressed by an absence of an image.
Reeve has some positive accomplishements. A monument to him would be a monument to something positive he did. I am sure it applies to Mr. McLellan, whoever he is.
Similarly, a library is something positive a theist would be happy to consider as a monument. There is nothing atheistic about it.
