what percentage of the worlds population are atheists?

[naomi24]

That's impossible to assess accurately, but if you scroll down this link to 'Demographics', it gives some indication.

Almost All of us don't believe in one god or another.

[naomi24]

Good point Brionon. I think we can safely say that none of us believe in every God - and some who believe in the same God can't agree.

Looking at AB it seems like that about 95% are theists.

I'm a christian.....

[keyplus90]

Sorry I missed "a" before theists and I know that changes the meanings completely. So I meant to say 95% atheists

[ummmm]

I'm actually shocked by how many AB users are atheists...

[craft1948]

ummmm....it's very fashionable nowadays....

[ummmm]

I'm not a follower of fashion :-)

[naomi24]

^^ Agreed Wiz.

[craft1948]

agreed wizard.....but nowadays you seem to be attacked for admitting to having any religion...(well nearly any religion)

wizard I am a christian......to me this is very personal and I have never attacked anyone else for their beliefs...it's for me alone. However it is not very nice, to be attacked on a regular basis, as being a fantasist and fairytale believer as does happen on this site.
Interestingly my father was an atheist until he thought he was dying (he wasn't).....but he did shout very loudly for God......(hedging his bets?)

[naomi24]

Who attacks you Craft? I thought all the debate on religion went on here in R&S.

[craft1948]

naomi I do not mean me as an individual bot I do look in on R&S but don't join in. I am not intellectual enough and do not have the will to join in the rigorous debate........I know what I believe in and am happy to leave it at that.....

[naomi24]

Oh, I see. I know you're not a regular here so I couldn't quite work that one out.

[ummmm]

I'm with Craft....I do love reading your debates.
