Why? It's just about.com, and it's merely linking content from somewhere else. I actually looked around a little in other places and couldn't find support for the idea that atheism is on the increase (at least over the last 30-40 years). Agnosticism, or even people calling themselves non-religious is on the rise. So the discrepancy, if any, probably has something to do with people self-identifying and self-reporting, so there's probably a lot of variation in what agnostic/atheist/non-religious means to those individuals.
It seems hard to contest that fundamentalist/evangelical sects are growing quickly. After all, they're...evangelical.
