It's becoming cooler to be an atheist...
The American Religious Identification Survey, a major study released last month, found that those who claimed “no religion” were the only demographic group that grew in all 50 states in the last 18 years...the “nones” in the population nearly doubled, to 15 percent in 2008 from 8 percent in 1990. Not all the “nones” are necessarily committed atheists or agnostics, but they make up a pool of potential supporters.
...even in the land of Bob Jones University...
At the University of South Carolina, in Columbia, 19 students showed up for a recent evening meeting of the “Pastafarians,” named for the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster — a popular spoof on religion dreamed up by an opponent of intelligent design, the idea that living organisms are so complex that the best explanation is that a higher intelligence designed them.

Shhhh... don't let the fundamentalist hear about this. They already think Christians are an oppressed minority and they are at war with the world.
