Which is made all the more interesting by the fact that non-belief is at an all-time high, and rising. In the 80s the rate of non-belief was something like 10%. Give or take. Recent data I have seen say that it's up to 30%.

Hmmm...actually it took a slight dip recently:

It's still more than 2x the rate of 40 years ago. There has been a lot of speculation that the internet is responsible for a lot of that. Before, people lived sheltered lives. They weren't exposed to new ideas. The internet gave them that exposure, and the theist arguments could never hold up (because they're false), and many theists lost their faith. Heck, at TMF I'm aware of at least two that tried to come to Atheist Fools to "school" us, and ended up joining us because they realized their arguments were fallacious nonsense.
