Atheist

Lies. In real life people are just too pussy to admit they're an atheists, they fear the christians.

This probably plays a slight role, but I think the greater reason is simply demographic. This is a videogame website about sales, markets and business. The demographic here is largely 15-25 year old males who are more educated than you would find on average than at a place like neogaf or IGN. This demographic is going to largely skew atheistic by comparison to other demographics. It's not exactly an accurate sampling. But I think it does show that in the future atheism will continue to grow. As the older more religiously inclined demographics grow old and die out, they will be replaced by a demographic that is at present young and atheistic.

You can find me on facebook as Markus Van Rijn, if you friend me just mention you're from VGchartz and who you are here.

Thats not true. For ever young athiest there is a young religious person. You probably have never been in the American South or other countries like the Isreal, Bangladesh, China, or Egypt.
West America =/= the world.

I live in Kentucky. And yes I am aware that the religious outnumber the atheistic. I never contended that they didn't. I am merely pointing out atheism is a growing trend, not that the world will be 51% atheistic in another generation.

I've been on several other gaming forums and they had significantly higher percentages of non-religious people aswell.
Atheism and Agnosticism is growing quickly in the west. In my countries last census non-religion grew the most in real numbers then any of the religions and Christianity shrunk slightly.
Interesting times.
