The atheists tended to hang out at Mel's delicatessen in those days.

Do you mean the ones who created a golden calf to worship? They weren't atheistic because they did believe in God but they were polytheistic because they also worshipped an idol. Their faith was weak and they turned to something tangible they could see. Moses handled the situation promptly upon returning from the mountain and they were quickly reminded who the Lord is.

I would say yes!

If there were atheists who joined the exodus, they would be pretty dumb. I mean not only did the miracles happen to them theirselves whilst there, but a flame of fire led them at night to the Red Sea, and it was a pillar of smoke through the day. If there were atheists, they would have thought "As if I'd be that stupid to follow those people to the middle of the desert and have the Egyptians attacking us!!" I am sure that they would have stayed behind. What logical reason would an atheist follow Moses out of Egypt for, and have the biggest world power at the time come after you?
-
The atheists stayed behind in Egypt.

Since every Israelite put blood on their doorposts, I'm thinking there weren't any atheists. No cattle or Israelite child died when the Egyptian children did, indicating that everyone must have believed enough to do what God said. If you saw the Red Sea parted for you, would you stay behind and not believe? I'd follow for sure!
-
After God started destroying so many of the Israelis for piddling things, I imagine that there ended up with quite a few of them.
-
Since there is no evidence such an event took place, there is no evidence that atheists were there.
-
Probably . . . Those were probably the ones that the Earth opened up an swallowed at the golden calf incident.
-
There were all types of people according to the bible.
-
No, by that time I think that the seven plagues had pretty much convined all of them. : D
-
By logic, no there were not. I believe that Moses was a fictional character and the Exodus a fictional story. The claims are extraordinary and good evidence non existent. It is illogical to believe extraordinary claims when there is no good evidence presented. The most logical explanation of Moses and the Exodus is that it was fabricated to unite a people.
