I suggest you read your own source carefully before posting comments on them or else you will embrass yourself just like you have done.
The First site you have linked quoted from a same author listed in the second: Max D. Schlapp and Edward E. Smith . So lets just discuss the second website.

Not only does the age of the survey cast doubt,in addition, What was the proportion of Atheists one hundred years ago?
