somewhere between 500,000,000 and 750,000,000 humans currently do not believe in God.
However,
... the designation “atheist” is highly stigmatized in many societies; even when people directly claim to not believe in God, they still eschew the specific self-designation of “atheist.” Greeley (2003) found that 29% of Latvians, 41% of Norwegians, 48% of the French, and 54% of Czechs claimed to not believe in God, but only 9%, 10%, 19%, and 20% of those respondents self-identified as “atheist,” respectively.

The approximate number of "non-religious" people in the world was estimated at around 1.1 billion in 2005. That's not just atheists, though: I believe most are agnostics.
A 1994 study found there to be approximately 240 million atheists in the world. Of course, it's been over a decade since, so that statistic's rather outdated.
