I think you've got a typo...
"This meme doesn't reflect reality since atheism is very widespread and is, fortunately, spreading quite fast."
There, fixed it for you.

In 2012,
80% of all europeans including (Russia) were religious
Country with highest number of atheists: Sweden, 45%
East Germany: 35% religious
West Germany: 90% religious
Germany, total: 56% religious
France 74% religious
Wikipedia:
Eurobarometer survey 2019, percentage of atheists (+ agnostics):
Czechia: 22(56)
Germany: 9(30)
France: 21(40)
Sweden: 16(50)
Where is this majority of atheists hiding if i may ask?
If you take the broader category of non-religious people which includes atheists, agnostics and others, then they are clearly a majority in several parts of Europe, and I would argue they are a plurality in most of Europe, when you take non-religious people as a single category, and each major religious community as separate categories, than non-religious people are clearly a plurality in most of Europe.
Also, when I say parts of Europe, those parts do not necessarily correspond to entire countries, but geographic regions within Europe where atheism and agnosticism is prevalent.
Best way to "win" an argument?
Move the goal posts! Yay! You WIN!
But it struck out anyway...
Disappointing theists since 1968!
