Information always flourishes with technology.
Christianity is so widespread because of roads. Rome made some great advances, and Christianity benefited from it.
With powerful shipping lanes, Muslims spread to other parts of the world.
And with easy air travel, you can find just about any religion where the government does not suppress it.
The internet has all the advantages of above, plus it offers the convenience that you don't have to actually move. It links people together. Imagine being an atheist in rural Mississippi without the internet. You simply keep your mouth shut and wonder why all these people are so gung ho. But now, a Mississippi atheist can discuss his thoughts with other atheists. He can learn from those who walk the same path. No longer must he remain silent.
And this is true for all beliefs, not just atheism. Being Mormon or Muslim in Mississippi wouldn't be that easy either.

I don't know, but access to the internet sure makes it easy for you to ask difficult questions like this one!

Access to the internet gives everyone a chance to speak their mind, be they atheist or not.
Unfortunately, here in the US, we're the minority, so it's hard to keep up with destroying all the lies.
We're gaining some ground, though.

It's just one avenue. But because it's the internet, you have to take a lot of what you read with a grain of salt. One person cannot speak for all.

same for everyone. but so what? ı was thinking that they are having good reasons to be an atheist but since ı am here ı could not hear any logical full sentence from them about religions or what they believe except fooling, insults, curse etc. so it is good that people are having idea of them.

Only as much as it makes it possible for those who believe in this stupidity to spread the word of their God:
