Michael- My suspicion is that it is way more likely that a believer becomes a 
non-believer- There are way more who believe but the majority don't think about 
it or have terribly well developed systems of belief. That's my stocastic 
explanation. :) No, seriously. That sounds like a research question to me! Does 
anyone know the answer empirically? Tim Shearon

        Is this newsworthy in the "man bites dog" sense?  Do more atheists 
become believers than believers become atheists?

        Famous Atheist Now Believes in God 
        
        By RICHARD N. OSTLING, AP Religion Writer 
        
        NEW YORK - A British philosophy professor who has been a leading 
champion
        of atheism for more than a half-century has changed his mind. He now
        believes in God â more or less â based on scientific evidence, and 
says so
        on a video released Thursday.
