North Korea
Otherwise, many communists regimes (China, Cuba...) tried to impose atheism on their citizens, with more or less success. Former communists countries may be home to a sizeable portion of atheists. However the admiration for the party leaders had often turned into something religious.
Further, according to the Adherents website, the most atheists countries are (estimates):
Sweden46 - 85%
Vietnam81%
Denmark43 - 80%
Norway 31 - 72%
Japan64 - 65%
Czech Republic54 - 61%
Finland28 - 60%
France43 - 54%
South Korea 30 - 52%

It is a little hard to tell for sure. Most communist countries were officially atheist. That often wasn't the reality, but there were more than western countries. China is supposed to be mostly atheist, but again, that is pretty hard to really know one way or the other.

As of 2004 almost 40% of Great Britain was considered atheist. Within the next three decades, you can expect that number to rise to about 70-80%.

China is a self proclaimed atheist state. If you look at anything about the nationality of China on the books, the national "religion" will be listed as atheism.

individual who does not have faith in God. i'm answering this question as you sought to appreciate the meaning of cliffnote's version. that's a word which shows the shorter version of a protracted tale. as an occasion, you ask a individual a query, he says, "that's a protracted tale". then you definitely say, "provide me the Cliffnote's version" meaning which you relatively choose the guy to tell you devoid of each and all the main significant factors. The t in my Verstion is a spelling blunders, which I then felt added a private touch and it caught. I initially fancied myself as giving just to the component solutions...which I of course do no longer now.

Sweden, Denmark and Japan have pretty high atheist percentages. Surprisingly, I found out that China's is pretty low.
