A lot of people become more involved when they get older because they realize the importance of it, and that is a good thing.
I've yet to meet anyone who chose to be an atheist. Indeed, I've yet to meet anyone who could choose whether to believe in a god or not.
Which makes me wonder where your 90% figure comes from, and whether you think you're being objective in your assessment of why. I don't think you are.
Define chose.
My best friend of 22 years chose to become atheist...ahhhh I see. Nevermind I got it.
