I agree.

Interestingly a link to an aetheist website previously also counted agnostics and non believers in their numbers. In counting these other groups meant that atheism is the fourth largest belief system in the world.

Sounds like atheism has the battle lines drawn not christians i.e. for or against. Truth is, as an agnostic I am a little offended that I have been enlisted as aetheist....
