Heh, *you* accusing *me* of a preconceived view makes me giggle. ;)

Anyway, care for another source?

From the 2005 New York Times Almanac, page 486, section "Nonreligious and Atheists":

An estimated 887 million people (15 percent of the world's population) profess no religion, are agnostic or are indifferent to religion. Another 222 million people (4 percent) are declared atheists who do not believe in God. More than three-quarters (852 million) of these nonreligious and atheists live in China, where religious observance is sharply curtailed by the government. An estimated 12 percent of people in Europe are nonreligious, compared with 9.8 percent in Oceania, 7.2 percent in North America, and 3.3 percent in Latin America.
