Yes, most of the world's population are theists. But atheists, by definition, don't believe in it. Unless you're saying some professed atheists aren't actually atheists. I'm sure that's true, just as some professed theists aren't actually theists.
I wouldn't say most professed atheists are theists, that seems a bit of a stretch.
Yes. It does seem like a stretch. Particularly since the vast majority of us "deconverted" slowly, as the tales started to seem ridiculous and absurd and offensive and . . . completely illogical. I would say that most professed atheists are . . . atheists, who are surrounded by a theistic world, and who were raised within religion, therefore some of the thought processes are still affected. But that does not equate with belief.
