I think it's more about the attitude of tolerance in these countries, which is directly reflected in more people quitting organized religion (and not being terribly chastised for it). Being aggressively pro-atheist would probably be as bad as being aggressively pro-religion (or worship of the ruler of your country, which is basically the case with North Korea =).

In Finland/Sweden/etc, even the primary religion, Lutheran christianity, is super laid back. It's not atheism that makes these countries happier and more stable, but freedom of belief.
