If atheism is a trend, it is the longest lasting trend that has ever existed.
Since Socrates questioned the gods in 400 b.c.
A thoughtprocess to be defined as a trend seems to me to be a bit far fetched.
When you accuse people of being "fake atheists" this reminds me of marxist group I use to hang arround with who accused newcommers to be "fake" commies.
Only because you have been an atheist for a longer period of time than others, this doesn`t give you the right to be judgemental over other atheists convictions.
Posing like an atheist? I think this would only be possible in a sociaty in which being religious could end you up in a state of discrimination - such as communist Albania or North Korea.
I guess there are more people out there who pose as religious to not lose their head in a nation like Iran, Iraq, Oman, UAE, Yemen or Saudi Arabia.
