It seems to me that organizations like NAS,
Scientific American, PBS, etc. generally attract
people of an atheistic leaning. Many, as active
Humanists see it as an opportunity to "spread
their own word".
To gage how intelligent people in general perceive
religion and atheism I note that in Mensa the
demographics are:
"49% Christian, 3% Unitarian, 9% Jewish, 7%
agnostic, 3.6% atheist, 9% no religion"
