    "I think nearly everyone is an unbeliever."

    Then you'd be wrong.

    I suggest you read a good book on cosmology, such as "The Road to Reality" by Roger Penrose, or "Godel Meets Einstien" by Yourgrau.

    Having a better understanding of the foundations of science and it's place within our rationality might make you realise the limiting and fundamentally false nature of scientism/positivism/materialism that seems so pervasive amongst new atheists.
