Socrates was not an atheist. He believed in a higher power, often referring to "the gods" in his philosophical discussions. However, he did challenge traditional Greek religious beliefs and encouraged critical thinking about the nature of the divine.
Socrates believed in a single, supreme deity or divine intelligence that governed the universe. He questioned traditional Greek beliefs in multiple gods and was accused of impiety for his teachings. Socrates emphasized a personal moral conscience over ritualistic worship and encouraged questioning and self-reflection in pursuit of wisdom.
Socrates' full name was Socrates of Athens.

Probably because he was "accused" of being an atheist (in Socrates' time it was capital offence to be an atheist).
Why would someone need to defend themselves? Socrates was a great thinker; therefore, he was most llikely an Atheist. Most great thinkers are.
Essentially, he outsmarted his persecutor who accused him of being an atheist and, later, accused him of believing in foreign gods - Socrates pointed out that this was a contradiction.

One of the accusations leveled against Socrates in his trial is that he was an atheist because he did not accept the gods of the state. Socrates directly addresses this charge in his apology, since it was the most serious and the one that can lead to a death sentence. Socrates argues that he in fact does accept the existence of the Gods, Zeus included. However he rejected the stories that the State propagated about the Gods. So arguably he worshipped Zeus or else he the state would have sentenced him to death. On the other hand, you can say that he worshipped Zeus to his own personal limits.

It depends on what you mean by "popular". There weren't many non-white movie stars. Musicians are your best bet if you mean "famous", but coming out as an atheist in the 1920s could well have damaged somebody's career even more than today, so it would have been rare. Hubert Henry Harrison (aka "The Black Socrates") was an outspoken atheist, and he was well-known in the 1920s - though not an entertainer.
