What I like about Thomas Nagel is that he is one of the few atheists who steps up against darwinism and materialism as an explanation for almost everything.
Quoting from The Last Word (1997):
"[...] I don't want here to be a God; I don't want the universe to be like that. My guess is that this cosmic authority problem is not a rare condition and that it is responsible for much of the scientism and reductionism of our time. One of the tendencies it supports in the ludicrous overuse of evolutionary biology to explain everything about life, including everything about the human mind."
Of course his book Mind & Cosmos is the best example of this
