One leading cause of atheism is religion.

You might equally say 'One leading cause of religion is atheism'.
Both are nonsense.
The fact is that some people need an explanation of how we came to be here and choose to believe that God was behind it. Others believe the evidence produced by science. Yet others don't need that explanation.
Some people need an explanation of what happens when we die, others don't.
Some people believe that the world was created less than 10,000 years ago.
Some people believe that the world rests on the backs of four elephants that, in turn, are standing on giant turtles.
You believe what you want and I'll believe what I want. I won't kill you for your beliefs provided you won't kill me for mine.
Or insist that your beliefs need to become mine, whatever they are.

"Religion causes Atheism".
Most people wish to explore the reasons and causes of life and the universe. Its a fairly natural thing to want to know about. For an awful lot of people, those questions are answered with religious teachings- the creation story of their religion.
Other people. on the other hand. seek answers that have some evidence behind them. And it is often the case that such people will arrive at the conclusion that the notion of a god is an extremely improbable event, and on balance, it makes more sense to view the universe and life as a natural phenomenon, rather than a supernatural one.
Others still may well look at the teachings of their own religion, or other religions, and be horrified at how such outdated thinking is still encouraged. They may question the xenophobia and jealousy of the gods in their teachings; they may question the mysogeny that informs much of the teaching and deprives fully half the human population of a truly equal footing; they may question the need to kill others who question or have a different opinion of god.They may reasonably ask why god does not intercede more in human affairs, given all his supposed powers; Why not heal amputees? I teil you now, show me a god that can do that, and you will have millions of converts on the spot.....
And they may conclude, after thinking about all of these things, that there is no evidence for a god, that these people praying for miracles would be better served going out and doing some practical good, and that if they hear voices in their head they should probably think about getting some help, or at least not admitting to it in public.
Its true, your alleged creator is invisible; thats because he is not there....

According to the last Census, Brighon (and the "other bit") is the most non religious city in Britain.
The leader of the local Humanist Society told the ArseGas that we are "enlightened".
Of course, since the Census, I have started to follow the Voodoo religion, so the stats need to be adjusted slightly.

At One time a editor of a newspaper in the British Isles wanted to carry a regular religious article in his paper. He contacted all the local clergymen, asking if they would be interested in submitting an article on a regular basis. There was no response. So he contacted a national syndicate that supplies articles to papers all over England. They said that they could not help—‘there was no call for religious articles.’
One of Jehovah’s witnesses got to hear of the editor’s problem. A Witness minister who handles news releases in connection with the circuit assemblies of Jehovah’s witnesses contacted the editor. Several articles were prepared that showed that the Bible is scientifically accurate and is a practical, moral guide for today. The editor liked these 400-word articles. He asked, ‘How long can you keep them up?’ ‘As long as you keep your paper going,’ was the reply. Now every week the local paper has an uplifting article for the benefit of its 42,000 readers, under the heading “The Bible Says, so what a contrast.
