Such a low number, it is not even a whole number.
But, that is a good thing! That means that more people are being saved by the Lord and have given up thier confused lives to a world of peace and purpose.
Peace to you always,
Welcome to the family!

Probably around 10 percent. I say this because the vast majority of people who responded to polls say they're religious. The people who aren't religious are mainly agnostic.
In the old Soviet Union, which banned religion, people were arrested every day for selling religious icons. In fact, I have a friend who was stripped of his Romanian citizenship for that very crime. Even Communist China has a large religious community.
For some reason, people equate "religion" as Christian and neglect to count Jews, Muslims, Hindu, Buddists, Pagans, and any number of modern beliefs.

Everyone is an atheist, in some way. If you don't believe in Thor, you are an atheist. If you don't believe in Ra, you are an atheist.
We're all atheists, I just believe in one god less than most.

About 8%

16% listed as "non-religious". According to the notes, half of these are "theistic non-religious", therefore half are "atheistic".
