3. Great - all a nonbeliever needs is to convince 93% of voters who even consider him to vote that way!

Easy Peasy. Nice fair level playing field.

Great! People hate us only about 8% more than Muslims after people purportedly acting as Muslims killed thousands and dramatically attacked our biggest city, when we have military action in several Muslim countries, a leading news channel that demonizes them 24/7, and in tests of free association, overwhelmingly choose "terrorist" as a companion word to "Muslim". And just think atheists, who are imprisoned at a far lower rate than any other segment defined by religious opinion, who make up huge ratios of the top researchers in science who are curing deadly diseases and pushing the boundaries of human knowledge, and whose greatest offense is writing some snarky books, may one day in a few decades if this great trend is continued hope to be held in equal regard.
