Oh I definitely think 911 is one of the reasons for the atheist movement, definitely, but I do think there are a few other angles too it too.
I think the so-called 'atheist movement' might me more of a few different movements at once. I mean atheists have their different reasons for being against religion as well as what they share in common I guess.
Also, assuming 911 has had a big effect - I think other atheists who became militant for other reasons might get mistakenly put in the same camp - making the 'movement' look perhaps just a bit bigger than it is.... (the atheists who became militant for other reasons may have therefore been that way anyway).... just an idea.
