The statistic in that article which surprised me the most was that you have only a 3% atheist population; I have no data, but would expect a UK figure to be well above that. I doubt that many Brits would subscribe to the views expressed, though some would.

Atheism is well accepted here, in fact if we were to judge by what people practice as opposed to what they say they are, I would be unsurprised to find an atheist majority.

Maybe your atheists are aware of the paranoia they seem to induce, and are sensibly keeping their heads down.
