There's a great article with the very same topic in the issue of Time magazine.
According to the whole article I actually read in Time magazine after an extraordinary survey, the country with most non-believers is Sweden. 85% of Sweden's population are non-believers, atheists and agnostics.
The great surprise of the whole project was when it was found Israel with a 37% of its population with non-believers, atheists, and agnostics.
Now, here's the top then countries with the Least Religious Believers:
1- Sweden (85%: Non-believers, atheists, agnostic).
2- Vietnam
3- Denmark
4- Norway
5- Japan
6- Czech Republic
7- Finland
8- France
9- South Korea
10- Estonia (49% non-believers, atheist, agnostic).
Our country, USA, ranks number 44th with a 3-to-9% of its population as non-believers, atheists, agnostics.

Thinking of moving? You have several options.
You can go to a Communist nation or to one of the least religious ones.

Perhaps Japan, France or Finland. It's pretty difficult to measure. In France, for example, most people will call themselves Catholic, but I think belief in God is at about 50% and church attendance is almost in the single digits. In Japan, they may call themselves Shintoist and/or Buddhist, but religion is just something that never really crosses their minds. It's not a facet of their existence...

Most of the more socially and culturally advanced country in central Europe... That proves something... don't you think?
The more backward and ignorant countries have a higher percent of religious believers.
