Some ex-muslims also turn atheist.
See

There seems to be some correlation between the extent to which a religion controls the lives of its members, and the strength of mind it takes for most people to leave such religions.
Once they've made their way out of a hyper-controlling religion, other bull$h*t cultural systems tend to also fall to the scythe of reason. This is not, by any means, a universal result, but it is frequent enough to deserve study.
