I don't know if I'd go that far. I think it has more to do with people rejecting organized religion because it's ultimately proven to be bad for modern society. Retaining their faith in some kind of gods is one thing, but accepting some lunatic preachers' definitions of what god they should believe in is something else again.

Most of them do believe in something, but don't really have a clue in what they believe.
That's because most people NEED to believe in something. That doesn't give them the right to tell me what I have to believe in, though. As long as they keep it to themselves, we can get along fine.
