Most atheists live in in highly developed countries. Most Islamic countries do not have these conditions, especially those in Africa.

I will answer your question with a question.
Why there are a few suicide bomber who were born in Buddhism or Christian?
Whe you are so fed up with wars and you are willing to die for your god, there is no way or time for you to question your god.
The question is not quite vaild because the are many skeptics Islam (which = Atheis in a sense) in Islamic countries.

The radical death penalty maybe? Muslims hate me with a passion while they feel Christians just worship the same god but do it wrong. They can be converted, while there is a "special" place in hell for me.
The penalty for converting to Christianity is death BTW.

it is very difficult to lead a normal life for a person as an atheist if he were born in a Muslim family. there will be danger to his life also.

because christianity gives people the choice to accept the truth or not. Islam is a lie that muslims can only force on people through brutality, intimidation, and lies.

I believe your facts might be inaccurate. Besides, all the responses you're going to get on here are mindless idiots saying that Islam is terrorism or something.
