Regardless of the poll results, there's surely a correlation here as atheists are more common in urban areas, where "outdoorsmen" (do people actually use that word any more?) are uncommon for obvious reasons.

The normal correlation to expect would be the one between education level and religion. The higher your education the more likely it becomes that you live in a urban setting.
Even if the the education level were only slightly different ( hard to see how it could be given job opportunities for PhD's or similar), the opportunity factor will accent it. When you live in Hawaii you do much more ocean related activities than when you live in Denver, atheist-smatheist.
