Well duh. Atheists are already Satan's soldiers, why would they get possessed? /s

And agnostics may or may not be possessed, but they don't really care.

We would care, but it's not like we'd ever know, so...

Some few believers probably think most atheists are just NPCs to test their faith or whatever.

Yeah, the rest of us just call it mental illness.

Well, I get what you’re saying, but it does undercut the point a little bit that the family in The Exorcist was decidedly not religious. It was a pretty pronounced fact for the first part of the movie.

Yeah, it's like dyslexia. If the family/community knows about dyslexia, they'll test someone for it. If they aren't aware of demonic possession, they'll just think the person is crazy.
