1. I think there are a lot more unbelievers out there than will admit to it.
It took Europe 2 world wars and a Depression between them to shed the old Sunday School god who never sent them any more than they could handle. I have a sneaking suspicion that most believers are where I was at when I was about eight, afraid not to believe in anything but the honesty of Pascal's Wager.

Plus, we atheists tend to be a gabby bunch when we're finally in a safe place where we can admit who we really are.
