Not as such. The Atheist population is growing for sure, but, according to the various data, it is shown that the majority follow some religion. However, due to falling church attendance, I would say that increasingly people are less sure of religion. Also, one could doubt census results. 78% of Britons are reportedly Christian, but this seems highly dubious to me. 84% of the French are Catholic, reportedly. 94% of Spaniards, 80% of Italians, 68% of Germans. However, this figure is not necessarily a reflection of the truth, and falling church attendance, I think, is a sign that fewer people are following faith than let onto it. Most don't even think about it. In secular Europe, it's not discussed, so it is understandable that someone might put themselves down as Christian, when actually they have no beliefs.
From the data, we could say that most Europeans are Christians, not Atheists. However, one cannot tell exactly to what extent this is true as these are general figures, some may have misclassified themselves because they have not thought about it much, and we may never actually know.
