Is it a bit odd to claim "Ours is a Very Large Group" while also claiming many are not "True Group Members™"?
Appeal to popularity should generally be avoided, but if you're also going to undercut your own argument it becomes terribly awkward.
Update:I agree with the sad state of claiming an ex-atheist was never a "True atheist" (I can't read the heart and minds of men); but the issue here is claiming current members of a group are not really "True X" (specifically, while also claiming you're a large group). I mean, that's pretty obvious from the question isn't it? So what is your response other than a misplaced "tu quoque"?

I love when they say Hitler wasn't a Christian.
Exactly why the faithless here should reconsider bragging about their ranks increasing.
The use of logical fallacies by those who claim to be logical is so very sad.

"An ex atheist was never a true atheist"
That brings to mind an interesting hypothetical scenario. Assuming that Christians get what they want, which seems to be a non-secular "Christian America", and a specific interpretation of Christianity is then mandated by the government; how sure are they that their specific interpretation is going to be the one? What will they do if it isn't?
