Only those of us who can afford it, really. I think one would be surprised at how many atheists (and/or Western-fad "Buddhists") are middle or upper class, well-educated, and have plenty of time for navel-gazing and sitting around thinking deep thoughts all the time. The rest of the world is busy scratching out enough to live day to day, and you sure as hell bet they're believers. It's rational behavior... materials means determine superstructure/belief systems, not the other way around. If you ask me.
