Atheist Attrition Rate

In response to my post about Orthodox attrition, Orthoprax asked about atheist attrition.



The answer, at least as far as the GSS goes, is that 51.3% of people who had no religion ("none") at 16 still had none when they took the survey. This number appears to be lower than the major religions' retention rate but higher than Orthodox Judaism's at 27.3%.
