This may not have much to do with religion but may be more socio-economic. Atheists tend to be educated and affluent relative to fundamentalist protestants who tend to be poorly educated and less affluent. Better educated and affluent people commonly delay marriage until the early to mid twenties while a high percentage of poorly educated people marry in their late teens. There is a definite correlation between teen marriage and divorce.

Are atheists more likely to be Democrats?

Yes, because Democrats are more tolerant of differences and the protection of civil liberties, including the liberty to choose your religion or no religion. Anybody can join the Democratic Party and people who are persecuted for their differences are more likely to become a member of the party that welcomes them rather than the party of their tormentors. However, this is not to say that there are no atheists in the Republican Party. The focus of the Republican Party is on individual financial liberty and this could appeal to atheists who are financially successful in life.
