Line 1: − It is difficult, if not impossible, to find accomplishments by second generation atheists. While [[atheists]] raised in [[religious]] environments have rarely been productive, atheists raised in atheistic environments are not known to be.

However, a search of "second generation Christian" retrieves only 2090 results. Given that atheists only constitute about 4% of the population in the US it would appear that second generation atheists are substantially more productive per capita than second generation Christians.

A '''second generation atheist''' is one descended and raised in an [[atheism|atheistic]] environment by parents who are both [[atheists]].
A '''second generation atheist''' is one descended and raised in an [[atheism|atheistic]] environment by parents who are both [[atheists]].
The term is used by atheists,<ref>http://www.americanatheist.org/win01-02/T1/goeringer.html</ref> but it is not easy to find many examples of productive '''second generation atheists'''. While [[atheists]] raised in [[religious]] environments have occasionally been productive, atheists raised in atheistic environments are not known to be. Moreover it has been shown that second generation atheists who converted to Christianity early in life have been moderately successful.
As of April 29, 2008, [[Google]] retrieves only 70 sites referring to "second generation atheist," beginning with this one. Genuine accomplishments or even creativity are not easy to find by second generation atheists in that list.
