and, to me, atheist is something else. Not many of these surveys include "atheist" as one of the choices so I think that these numbers that get cited are deduced by people who want to cite a big number of scary atheists when in fact most people are very live-and-let-live on issues of spirituality and religion these days.

But indeed it is just a fun Facebook graphic and I should lighten up.
