Is it some new desi thing that some people at a certain age discover that there is something different out there known as atheism ? They think it is cool and in fashion to be an atheist .
They want to announce to the whole desi community. " I am an atheist , thanks God that I am an atheist. " "
They also have a notion that all the people who believe in religion are nerds , geeks , stupid , idiots , illogical and so out of touch with their times.
They also think that religious people are low life and on the lowest level of totem pole of humanity and could never be high achievers in life. The only way to be successful in this world is to get rid of religion and they tell everyone that their belief in religion is cause of all the evils in this world.
Am I correct ? If yes why is it so ?

Mainly its the stress on scientific knowledge that makes people that way. They lose touch with the reality of al-ghaib. Things unseen that exist in a shifted realm that the human mind cannot comprehend.
