There's a rather fundamental problem with trying to work atheists into TV shows. There's nothing to talk about and not much plot that can be developed from not doing something.
To beat the metaphorical dead horse, it's like talking about how you don't golf, and the reasons why you choose not to. It's just not that interesting.
Besides all that, there's the problem that if a TV character was explicitly an atheist and somehow demonstrated this regularly, this would most likely alienate much of the viewing audience, who are mostly religious. TV shows are a bit of a democracy.
IIN to be annoyed by how TV(USA) misrepresents scientists as theists?
