As a small child I was fascinated by the genealogical information in the OT, and was always setting out to compile family trees of everyone, or work out when Creation must have been by adding up people's ages. I was quite disappointed to find out Ussher had got there first :-)
So am I, actually. Wrapping it in weasel language, I would hope that a large proportion of the people who identify as atheists in a country where the dominant religion is Christianity have read it, and I think it might be more than the proportion of happy-clappy recent converts who have.
