I think a lot of these people are not being intellectually honest with themselves if they are believers, though. Somebody close to me who I consider to be very intelligent went from believing a literal version of the bible to being a full-on atheist in his late 30s, so there is hope I suppose.

Yeah, I wonder how religious you would be if you were raised by a nice christian family when you were younger, then were exposed to Atheism in your 20's. You'd probably still be religious, but that's a question that will never be answered.
I think a lot of Atheists that were raised with no religion around them are being intellectually dishonest with themselves. Somebody close to me who I consider to be very intelligent didn't know a thing about God as a child, and is now a Born-again Christian in his late 20's, so there is hope I suppose.
