In that census, 70% described themselves as Christians. What people do is fill in whatever religion their family uses for weddings and funerals, regardless of what they actually believe.
I always wondered how things would go on a census that asked the question in a form such as:

When purchasing a house and deciding where your family should live, what is the largest factor in influencing your decision:
A) Prayer results from the Christian God
B) Guidance obtained from an alternative Higher Power (Please provide answer, if possible ________________ )
C) Your own life experience and knowledge about demographics and economics that you have gained through empirical methods
I think that would be a representative census on "Who Lives Their Life as an Atheist"
