Ahhh yes, I guess that's why I'm an atheist in a country where half the people actually believe ....

I can understand why you might want some statistics to give your nonbelieving some validity, but that only indicates you have insecurities with your lack of belief and need others to go along with you. The same applies to those who use the first person pronoun "we" when asserting some position or philosophy, because they were "informed" that by pluralizing the pronoun it sounds like "others" also share those beliefs or attitudes. They are insecure in their position and need the spurious support.
Or may be you are just "hedging" in the event another wimp gets elected to the White House and rather than order military action decides that it would be better to allow ISIS to set up shop on U.S. soil to "oversee" the further dismantling of this country. You will have established "deniability" to save your head.
