Pleased about this...

The results of this survey are a sign that people are noticing and (hopefully) starting to think for themselves

As I read more about atheism and the consequences of religious thought on society, I can see that there is a huge problem with the "moderates".  By moderates I mean those individuals who believe in a personal god and who allow those with similar faiths to be extreme about it.  While we (as a society) can cry out about the extremists amongst us, its the moderates within there own religious communities that are allowing these "crazies" to operate.In my opinion, this goes against the natural morals and norms of our societies. 
Promoting atheism is fine, however the "Back-fire Effect" ensures that atheism will not convert those moderate religious individuals (yes, we can influence the fence sitters).

Or maybe, if atheism is promoted, then the "leaders" of these institutions will start preaching a more crazy line and dis-affect the moderates from within.  Is that too subtle?  Or does this survey suggest that there is hope?

Why am I worried?  I don't live in the US, however, the US does have an influence on the world.  The religious moderates/extremists seem to be very intent on being political.  And if the effect of George Bush is anything to go by, the rest of the world should be worried if we get more of the same or worse from the leadership of the US.
