As you correctly stated, it is how you phrase the question. Some people do not subscribe to any organized religion and some are afraid of saying (or committing to) that they are an Atheist and say they are Agnostics instead. All I know is that I meet more non religious people every year and I am happy to see this progress toward accepting reality and facts over myths and tall tales.
