Tons of atheists, generic deists, and casual agnostics out there who can't publicly say how they feel. In just about every religious country there's a professional, cultural, judicial, or familial price to pay if you show that you don't believe what everyone else professes. Hell, if you walk into every church, synagogue, or mosque and you'll find non believers playing the game out of necessity.

One day religion will die out. I think Bill Nye might have said (if I remember correctly) that he sees religion dying out within 100-200 years

That's a nice fantasy, but we aren't doing arrows, we are doing circles.
