Its interesting how atheists only really exist in Christian dominated areas of the world. Most of them are rebellious teens. 

So 30% of people in several european countries, for example, are mostly rebillious teens?

No. Most of the angry argumentative atheists on the internet are rebellious teens.*

The reason why there are lots of atheists in predominantly christian areas of the world is because those areas happen to be, for the most part, more developed. As a country gets more developed education gets better, there's more religious freedom, free speech etc. access to the internet... all these things relate to atheism. It's getting harder and harder for people to be sheltered, or not interact with people with vastly different views, or not have access to studies/research/books etc. 

And to say "atheists only really exist in Christian dominated areas of the world" isn't true. Atheism may be most popular in those developed christian nations (for reasons stated above, among others), but it's still growing almost everywhere, and has a large presence in many asian and SA countries.. A quick look at demographics will show you that. 

Teens grow up ya know.

But ya, tis the price of religious freedom. Numbersw will decline over time for each religion. I can only think of one religion that still forces conversts today.
