So...? I had a philosophy professor who converted to christianity from atheism and I didn't start a thread about it, neither did he make the news :P

I don't think it is as unusual as some think, for instance a large part of the greek/roman elite seemed to be atheistic before christianity. There was also way more atheists around by the turn of the 19th century (positivism, communism etc.) than we had until the mid 90's.
