Why is it that most atheists in western society were former Christians?

Is this simply a mere coincidence due to the large amount of followers within the Christian religions? Or is is possibly due to the penalty of apostasy in other religions and cultures? Or is it more to do with so many no longer being persuaded by biblical theology?

There was an interesting survey hosted by the atheist alliance; illustrating that approximately 70% of atheists formally practiced a Christian religion (including Catholicism).
