Looks like we (secular people = Atheists + agnostics) are between 18% and 27% now, depending on your numbers and definitions. We were a solid 8 when I became an activist 10 years ago.
Religious Views and Beliefs Vary Greatly by Country, According to the Latest Financial Times/Harris PollPeople in the U.S. more likely to believe in God or any kind of Supreme Being than those in five European countriesROCHESTER, N.Y. and LONDON ? December 20, 2006 ? A Financial Times (FT)/Harris Poll conducted among adults in the United States and in five European countries (France, Italy, Germany, Great Britain and Spain) shows that Americans are more likely than Europeans to believe in any form of God or Supreme Being (73%). Of the European adults surveyed, Italians are the most likely to express this belief (62%) and, in contrast, the French are the least likely (27%).Among those adults who stated they do have religious beliefs, almost two-thirds (62%) of Italians say they have the same religious beliefs as both their parents. In stark contrast, just under two in five (39%) British adults share the same religious beliefs as either of their parents. In the U.S. about half (48%) of adults who stated they have religious beliefs say they share the same as both of their parents.

quantum,
Best of luck to ya. We women do have way more to offer you than our genitals. But you’ll never even get a glimpse of the richness of the book if you’re obsessed with the cover.
By the way, you may want to try and look at your addiction to porn as an addiction to adrenalin. Porn obviously gives you a “rush”. Many experts agree that this is the foundation to many (most) addictions. Maybe you’re really not addicted to the “insertion” but to the rush/high/buzz you get from the very thought of it.
I’m no therapist (well, I’m a Speech Thearpist), but perhaps if you could redefine the underlying factors to the addiction itself, it would be feasible to re-channel you’re need for the adrenaline, or find another (healthier) way to achieve the buzz.
Then you could read the book

You make a rational and valid point concerning what you may choose to label yourself. But the atheist, humanist or agnostic label is more than a label chosen for yourself alone. Choosing the label is to choose to ally yourself with other nonbelievers.
Personally I am not upset by people that choose to call themselves agnostic. I used to use this label as well. My alliances have not changed because I now choose the atheist label. I think the question “Do gawds exist?” to be a ill-posed question. But there is no widely accepted label for those of us that make this important distinction. So I go with the label atheist because I am most strongly socially and political allied with others that choose this label.
now what is wrong with being pro white.if your white you should be for your race every other race looks after its own.it is nation against nation,race against race,belief system against belief system and person against person this is natural law defy it at your own peril.the ends justify the means so it is okay to use church or atheism to buildup your race/nation.you work with the tools at hand.and no i am not suggesting whites abuse nonwhites.
reason,
Spoken like a real KKK follower. You and alex would fit right in. BTW, there was post over at Atheist Revolution in which the information was brought up that they (kkk) actually do accept atheists. How comfortable you would be!
