If a person believes in God, but no religion, they would be considered agnostic, not athiest. I think people need to understand the definition of athiest better.

Unaffiliated has to do with one's association to a particular religious body. The percentage of actual atheists who reject belief in God as he does is far slimmer. Maybe he needs to get the atheist vote out a bit more to hit that 2% (rounded up) of atheists. Actually Sarah Palin is technically "unaffiliated" since she claims not to hold membership at a church at the moment. He and others like Dawkins, etc. simply don't understand the processes of secularization and fail to consider its sociological features time and again.
