Because I've never gotten high or had sex. And I don't listen to Pink Floyd.
Good for you, but if you go to a university and see what a lot of the people are doing, the people who are serious atheists, they are listening to indie rock music, they are going to bars, and they are having sex. A lot of them smoke weed.
That is good that you don't do those things, but I would say a majority of the people in the college student - graduate student demographic that makes up a substantial portion of the atheist community does have a culture that is not only tied to science, it is tied to a lifestyle that is condemned by Christianity. I can promise you that no one considers their religious beliefs independently of other causes.
