The simplest way to put this: take 10 atheists. Take 10 fanatical muslims. The atheists are one team, the Muslims the other team. Put both teams on a deserted island and leave them there until one team is left standing. Which team will be left? I'd put my money on the Muslims, although if a couple of especially savage atheists are included in the team, they might take out a few Muslims before it's over.
Oh, I don't know about that. If half of the Muslim fanatics are Shi'ites and half Sunnis, it's entirely possible they'd wipe each other out first, leaving the whole island to the atheists.
