I don't buy into this at all. I think there are plenty of characters who may be atheists in the writer's head but just don't bother delving into that portion of the character because, well, atheism is BORING. It doesn't make for a good story.
Religious undertones are fun because there's so much meat there to wrangle around into a fully-developed character. After all, most religious stories are interwoven with strong morality tales, quests for knowledge, and all the juicy stuff that makes a story interesting.
Atheism just doesn't provide that kind of material.
