Geeks who are vegetarian AND atheist?

In response to my previous post, "What percentage of geeks are vegetarian?" (prompted by an interesting email), I received this sub-question from "Mankoi" via email:

Just a thought on this, FYI. Most of my friends are geeks, and actually most are vegetarian. The ones who aren't are usually the less geeky ones. I'm not though. Meh. I know it doesn't really matter. Actually another interesting thing I found is that almost all of my geek friends (myself included) are Atheists. Do you think there is any connection?

Well, anybody want to share their thoughts on a connection between geekiness and atheism?

Hi Yvette. I think there is a correlation. A lot of my geeky friends are vegetarians (though I am not) or Atheists. I think it has to do with geeks' penchant for constantly questioning our world and going against the grain where the answers don't make sense.
