When you use statistics as part of your argument, it is up to YOU to provide those citations. I won't look them up as I want to see the citations that YOU found so we have a common point of reference.

You're comparing two surveys. What are they? Were they asking the same question?

I found this, which is probably your source for the 1%:
http://pewresearch.org/pubs/1181/religious-identification-of-those-who-do-not-believe-in-god

5% say they do not believe in God. Of those, 24% identify themselves as atheists.

Here's another survey of the religious composition of America:
http://religions.pewforum.org/reports

16.1% unaffiliated, 1.6% atheists. About the same fraction.

So where did your 15% come from? I'm guessing you used this "unaffiliated" number from one survey and compared it with the "atheist" number from another.

You're kidding yourself.

[Sorry]

So the evangelicals will stop annoying them.

Also to face less discrimination. Atheists are the most discriminated group in the USA. The same can't be said about Christians.
