Oh. I guess I could answer the same thing, more or less, but... that makes more sense
I'd have to question if that is the case, outside of a social context - that is, are we talking about religion as a social issue? Because religion does influence all of us, belief or not. Is it reactionary to religious influence? Most of the atheists I know only get into the topic when it influences social policy (schools, government). I have yet to have a bunch of, even agnostics, have a round table on religion or God. It does come up plenty - my circle has a soon to be priest, a few devout muslims of various sects, etc - with the rest, though.
