Ok. Although based on your post, I sort of doubt you're going to believe them. Anyway, here's a recent NPR article on how the number of atheists has doubled since 1990 in the US - one of the more religious countries in the world.

I equate the rise of atheism as the same as religious belief shrinking. I suppose you could take issue with that if you wished.
