Well, this isn't an American site - there are also Brits, Ozzies and Canadians (& more)... And world-wide, atheism has gone from a trickle in 1860 to hundreds of millions now...
With the ToE, Big Bang Cosmology and much more, the upshot is that we’ve gone from relatively few to huge numbers in less than 150 years. We find (roughly) the percentages of Atheism for certain countries: Vietnam – 81%, Sweden - ~65%, Denmark – ~65%, Norway – ~64%, Japan – ~65%, the Czech Republic – ~58%, Finland – ~51%, and so on. China has ~150,000,000 atheists, while Russia has ~44,000,000, Germany has ~36,000,000, France has ~28,000,000, the U.K. has ~22,000,000 and even little Canada has ~8,000,000 atheists (lots more of course). There are up to 26,000,000 atheists in the States. Given these numbers and associated growth, it becomes apparent that atheism is just thriving. Hopefully, the current trend will even accelerate!

I dont think atheism is growing. But I do think organized religion is on the decline. I think many still believe in god but there are too many politics involved with the major organized religions. Seems like "religious rights" groups are becoming more about politics than the religion itself. Many people want to distance theirselves from that and concentrate on worship.

Many Fundamentalist and Fanatical X-ians,
who present & promote a schizoid bi-polar God,
have given thinking ppl a reason to reject their God.
The God they(X-ians) promote is not believe-able.
Returning to the middle ages is intellectual suicide.
I find atheists are reason-able, when given a reason.
I find X-ians unreasonable, faithful unto "death" (law).
Laws(ordianances): touch not, taste not, handle not.
Reason: all perish by the using of laws: Col 2:20-22.
More excellent: neither broadmindead nor narrowmindead.
The true Christ-ians: are neither Atheist nor X-ian mindead.
True Christ-ians are not off-ended, but focused on "the end":
The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.
