This actually doesn't suprise me very much. Something I've noticed, also, is that most of the atheistic/agnostic people I know grew up in very staunch, strict Catholic homes.
I'm not religious. Sure, I believe that there's some sort of "higher power" up there, or whatever you want to call it, but I'm not going to dedicate my life to pleasing it. I'd rather live my life for myself, and go by my own definitions of what is right and wrong. This doesn't mean I don't have morals.
Not to mention, the rampant homophobia associated with most religions... no, thank you. :|
