Despite spectacular advances in technology and science, 90% of the world’s population is involved today in some form of religious or spiritual practice. Non-religious persons make up less than 0.1% of the populations in many Middle-Eastern and African countries. Only 8 of 238 countries have populations where more than 25% say they are not religious, and those are countries where the state has placed limitations on religious freedom. Atheism is actually quite rare around the world. More than 30 countries report no atheists (0%) and in only 12 of 238 countries do atheists make up 5% or more of the population. In Canada, 12.5% are non-religious and 1.9% atheist.
