I think modern atheism/agnosticism are a result of the enlightment era and science being an authority on knowledge. As it was shown that subtracting God from the equation is more factual, people stopped believing in other aspects. (ex. God's will is not the cause of an illness, yet there are viruses/bacteria)
As knowledge is furthered, as of more recently there are a larger and larger chunk of these atheist/agnostic types.
Still, argument in favor of God's existence holds more weight than an argument against. Damn the absolute empiricists that think if you can't sense it it doesn't exist...
