In China, the highest percentage of people among the 32 countries and territories included in the Statista Global Consumer Survey self-identify as non-religious or atheist, the latter group describing people rejecting the idea that there is a God.

Among European countries, the United Kingdom ranks high for the share of its non-religious and atheist population, which stands at around four in ten survey respondents aged 18 to 64.

Even in a country often associated with religiousness – Italy – a quarter of people (26 percent) between these ages are not religious today.

Meanwhile, in India, being non-religious or atheist is virtually unheard of, with just two percent of survey respondents saying they fell into one of the two categories.
