Let me make myself clearer by saying in the United States. Although, orientals may not believe in our God, most of them observe Buddha as their god, which means they are not true atheists. A true atheist is a person with no type of religious beliefs whatsoever. But to make things more clearer lets direct the question to those residing in our culture in the good old USA.

Independent polls and surveys and life experience. I have friends of all races, colors and creeds. Of my friends I have a few that are atheist and just so have it they all happen to be white. Although they don't believe in God like I do I still love them and pray for them.

The definition of an atheist is a person who doesn't believe in the nature of a god. Most asians view Buddha as their god therefore they are not atheists.

The vast majority of the earth's population believe in God. There are many rich and well educated people who know the truth and believe in God. Not believing in God makes one stupid not smart.

Buddha sure is classified as a god or diety. Buddhist bow down to the big bellied Buddha statue all the time. They bow down to Buddha like we bow down to God. Many people assume that because orientals don't bow down to "Our GOD", the one and only true God, that they are atheists, and that is far from the truth. When you look up the definition of an atheists it will not say a person or persons who don't believe in Jesus Christ, trinity, or the God of the Western Civilization, it will define it as a person who doesn't believe in a god or diety. Therefore, if there are some people in Greece who still believe in the gods of Greek mythology and not the God of our bible, guess what, they are not atheists.

Because Western civilization is falling away from its Christian roots, which is why our society has sunk to the depths which it has.

If you know the percentages, can we see the numbers? China is mostly a Buddhist country and the largest population in the world. Since Buddhism is not a religion and believes in no god or deity, Buddhists are considered atheists. Gonna need some numbers to back up your premise that whites form the largest group of atheists.

How do you figure that there are more of one race than another. It seem like there would be more oriental because of all the Chinese that have lived under communism.

Not true. A higher percentage of Asians are atheists. Buddhists are atheists.

Where do you get your figures to prove this to be true?
I have never heard of the racial breakdown of atheists.
