Well, we are going to be unique in the universe. Evolution isn't going  
to follow the same path twice (if snowflakes are all unique, then  
intelligent life, which is much rarer, will be unique to a greater  
degree...) However, most atheists I know who have any sort of science  
education reckon it's probable that there are many inhabited worlds in  
the universe.
