Because they're coming to their senses.

Uh... last I saw, Atheism was on the rise. They're still a miniscule minority by most counts (16% at the most liberal estimates, 3% at the most conservative), however, every source I have seen says that Atheism is increasing.

I have never read any account of an increase in the number of athiests/or decrease. But, in regard to a more general view, I could see how many have chosen to leave the Catholic Church. Does not mean they are athiests tho'. (no, I'm not Catholic) Other Churches have gained.

Citation, please. My reading of the polls was that there is an increase in disbelief. And your blatant untruth suggests that Christians are willing to resort to lying in order to recruit more converts. Sounds like a Nazi tactic.
The below information was posted on November 1 on MSNBC's web page. (citation below)
"The poll found that 42 percent of all U.S. adults said they are not "absolutely certain" there is a God, including 15 percent who are "somewhat certain," 11 percent who think there is probably no God and 16 percent who are not sure.
Not everyone who described themselves as Christian or Jewish said that they believed in God. Only 76 percent of Protestants, 64 percent of Catholics, and 30 percent of Jews said they are "absolutely certain" there is a God. However, most Christians who described themselves as "born-again" (93 percent) said they are absolutely certain there is a God.
Are Believers Declining?
Three years ago, in an identical survey, 79 percent of adults said they believed in God and 66 percent said they were absolutely certain that there is a God. In this new survey, those numbers declined to 73 percent and 58 percent respectively."

I would like to see your source. I believe many more will always come to religion. There are so many groups pushing a belief, even if you don't like Christianity, there are many others out there.

You sure about that? From what I've been seeing numbers of Atheism have been increasing.
Meh, not like it really matters.

That is a bold statement to have nothing but your word backing it. For some reason I think you are just full of it.
