Michael, you asked a great question. Wish I knew. My guess would be more believers become atheists, but one reason I say that is due to the experience of children who grow up and no longer believe. I'm sure most kids are taught to believe in God and do so without much questioning, and then certainly a percentage of them discard this belief as they get older. If very few kids are NOT taught to believe in God and DO NOT, I wonder what percentage of THAT group changes theological positions. If we just looked at post-childhood/adolescence, I wonder what we'd find.
