I have two suggestions for the introduction: 1) explain the difference between [[Atheism]] and [[Agnosticism]]; 2) add summaries about causal factors, historical events, and effects, instead of "will be addressed" and "will also be covered".

The editors of this page may be interested in a new book entitled ''The Triumph of Faith'' by Rodney Stark. The book relies on the Gallup (the real Gallup, not Gallup International) World Polls as well as other resources to show that the world is more religious now than ever. I know this page is specific to atheism but I thought more people might see this post if I put it here. Anyway, here's a link about the book: http://www.baylorisr.org/2015/10/19/baptist-standard-book-review-isrs-starkthe-triumph-of-faith/

::The effects and some of the historical events related to atheism is covered in the second paragraph of this atheism article. There is a sentence in the second paragraph which reads: "Atheism has been examined by many disciplines in terms [[Atheism statistics|of its effects]] on individuals and society and these effects will be covered shortly." When you click on the words "of its effects" in that sentence, the article will take you to the [[Atheism statistics]] article which covers some of the effects/history of atheism. Plus, the "Atheism statistics" article links to Conservapedia's [[History of Atheism|History of atheism]] article and articles related to the history of atheism.

New Book

The editors of this page may be interested in a new book entitled The Triumph of Faith by Rodney Stark. The book relies on the Gallup (the real Gallup, not Gallup International) World Polls as well as other resources to show that the world is more religious now than ever. I know this page is specific to atheism but I thought more people might see this post if I put it here. Anyway, here's a link about the book: http://www.baylorisr.org/2015/10/19/baptist-standard-book-review-isrs-starkthe-triumph-of-faith/

The article says that the book will be published November 16th, but Amazon says you can digitally download the book on the 3rd.
