In some ways it should not be surprising that there is an insurgency of atheist "clubs" around America's college campuses. With Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins proclaiming their lack of faith on rooftops, one can easily imagine that the young atheist troops are beginning to come of the woodwork. This "outing", however, is probably not a testament to their courage, but rather a sign of the times. The numbers are beginning shift in regards to Atheists in America. Although Religionistas still utterly dominate the American landscape, the small but growing percentage of young atheists, gives them enough people to make a crowd. It's hard to say, however, if this is a good thing.
