If your concern is that there is too little data in the survey to identify individual members,

Yes, I suspect there is too little data in the survey to identify individual members with enough certainty and reasonable effort. I can't contrive a concrete scenario where an atheist would be identified this way.

I would direct you to gwern's essay on The Tragedy of Light.
