How many atheists are there in the world?

[fr0d0]

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

Yeah that's what it seems like to me . this is my experience living in the UK. I know it's very different in your environment.

I include the idiotic fringe that I still consider to be believers. I don't include nominal twats who just say they are as a default position.. that would amount to a huge amount right? you look at the influence on society here, and it's overwhelmingly non religious/ secular. You hardly ever hear of religious stuff going on. In fact I hear more atheist stuff.

I guess I'd revise those figures taking in the 3rd world. they have got to be almost completely 'observant' of some kind of 'spirituality'. The Indian continent must be religious to a vast degree. china.. I guess too.
