How many atheists are there in the world?

[Eilonnwy]

I think for the sake of all religions too it's important people have a choice rather than feeling pressured to declare an interest where there is none. My own perception is of a world that has an overwhelming atheist majority of somewhere near 95%. It's rare to find a believer, and the media is full of religion bashing and promotion of disbelief. Not that this is a bad thing. The important thing is freedom to reason for yourself.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but are you saying you think the world is 95% atheist?

I think that's absurd.

I can buy 50%, but 95% is ridiculous
