How many Atheists When Raised Catholic? Protestant? Evangelical Protestant?

Nonya see the answer to this question: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=2 …
  I have seen many people say, Yahoo R & S, "I used to be a Catholic and now I am an Atheist." I can not remember any other Christian denomination is mentioned so often. Not even close.
  So if you are an Atheist who was raised in some Christian denominations, which one was it?
  Thanks for your time.

    Well, the largest denomination of Christianity and Catholicism is what makes sense to me that you will find a large number of atheists in that denomination.
      I was raised as a Catholic, but many of the atheists I know in real life and online other names have been included Southern Baptist, Protestants, Methodists, Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses.

    Seventh Day Adventist raised.
      There are more Catholics than any other Christian denomination - even in the U.S., and its heritage Protestants, Catholics are the largest denomination. And in the West, most atheists are some ex-Christian flavor or another.
