Just because societies become "less religious" according to some popular metric (for Europe mostly: "Christian, Jew or Muslim?") doesn't mean that people are more rationally minded. And I don't see any of that coming, it's merely newer beliefs supplanting established ones. Homeopathy is quite popular here, without any evidence. How rational is that? Finally, equating "atheism" with "rational" might be your personal short cut, but in my opinion it's incomplete: To pick a historically relevant example, Marxism-Leninism was (and is) quite sold on "atheism" - it was one of their major differentiators in the socialist spectrum - and I see quite a lot of irrational ideas there. And while these folks might not be your brand of atheism (no idea), claiming that they were not atheist seems to venture awfully close to a "no true Scotsman" kind of argument. (We might disagree on the level of their rationality, though).
