I am questioning why you placed the two things - atheism and Islam - together in a statement and opposed them to Judaism and Christianity.
I can understand some growth in certain rich countries of agnosticism (if that is the right term) - but to me real atheism - the active and religious disbelief in God is as silly as Satanism.
(and I do not say that are the SAME thing, I say that they are equally silly, equally illogical)

You're reading into it too much intentionally. I mentioned Islam because it was brought up before, and atheism was brought up for obvious reasons. Christianity and Judaism, two religions relatable to Islam and central in the US, were chosen because I'm too lazy to look up new information on Hinduism.
Disbelief in god includes both hard line atheism and rationalism.
