So long as the country has sufficiently secular laws and information can travel freely, I would see young Muslims deconverting, as well. Islam has such a stranglehold in parts of the eastern hemisphere because apostasy is anywhere from culturally unacceptable to outright being a capital offense. Take that away, and people begin to be less afraid to think for themselves.
Part of the reason Saudi Arabia decided atheists are terrorists is that their rates of atheism had become comparable to the USA's. Losing their minds over it won't help, though, it has the opposite effect.
I think the rate of increase of atheism in a country is directly related to how threatened the theist majority acts about it.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
