Global Index of

RELIGIOSITY AND ATHEISM

Only a minority of the world, mostly concentrated in China and Western Europe, claims to be atheists.
Global Distribution of Self-perceptions: Religious: 59% Not Religious: 23% Atheists: 13%

Zurich, 27 July 2012 We have no opinion polling data prior to the 20th century, but according to the latest global poll released by WIN-Gallup International, a world-wide network of leading opinion pollsters, atheists are a small minority in the early years of 21st century. Only 13% say they are atheists. They are mostly concentrated in East Asia where 47% of the Chinese and 31% of the Japanese say they are atheists; and Western Europe, 14% of whose population says the same. Elsewhere sizeable majorities claim to be religious; the global average is 59%. Another sizeable group claims to be not-religious but stops short of defining itself as atheist. Their global average is 23%. The WIN-Gallup International Religiosity and Atheism Index which measures global self-perceptions on beliefs is based on interviews with more than 50,000 men and women selected from 57 countries across the globe in five continents. The survey also provides trend data for shifts in attitudes since 2005. A world-wide poll conducted by WIN-Gallup International, a network of the worlds top most independent pollsters, asked exactly the same question in 57 countries across the globe:

WIN-Gallup International GLOBAL INDEX OF RELIGIOSITY AND ATHEISM - 2012

Question: Irrespective of whether you attend a place of worship or not, would you say you are a religious person, not a religious persons or a convinced atheist? In response to this 59% of the world said that they think of themselves as religious person, 23% think of themselves as not religious whereas 13% think of themselves as convinced atheists. TOP 10 ATHEIST POPULATIONS: The top ten Atheist populations are the following:

RELIGIOSITY IS HIGHER AMONG THE POOR: People in bottom income groups are 17% more religious than those in top income groups. It is interesting that Religiosity declines as worldly prosperity of individuals rises. While the results for nations as a whole are mixed, individual respondents within a country show a revealing pattern. If citizens of each of the 57 countries are grouped into five groups, from the relatively poor to relatively rich in their own countries, the richer you get, the less religious you define yourself. Percent of Population describing itself as RELIGIOUS
Bottom Quintile (LOW INCOME) Medium-Low Quintile Medium Quintile Medium-High Quintile High Quintile (HIGH INCOME) 66% 65% 56% 51% 49%

RELIGIOSITY IS LOWER AMONG COLLEGE EDUCATED: College educated are 16% less religious than those without secondary education. The same pattern is applicable to formal Educational Attainment. As formal educational attainment rises, fewer self-describe themselves to be religious: Percent of Population describing itself as RELIGIOUS
Less than Secondary Education Secondary Education Higher Education 68% 61% 52%

TRENDS SINCE 2005: Religiosity drops by 9%, while atheism rises by 3%. There is a notable decline across the globe in self-description of being religious. WIN-Gallup International had carried out exactly the same poll seven years ago in 2005. The global average of the 39 countries polled in both waves shows Religiosity Index dropped by 9% during these seven years. Most of the shift is not drifting from their faith, but claiming to be not religious while remaini ng within the faith. There is however a rise of 3% in atheism as well (see table 3, 4 ahead) TEN COUNTRIES EXPERIENCING NOTABLE DECLINE IN RELIGIOSITY SINCE 2005

Leger

(President WIN-Gallup

International, the network which runs the Annual barometer of opinions since 1977) Despite the immense impact of technology and an emphasis on worldly affairs, the 21st century overwhelmingly espouses a religious faith and atheism is in a minority. It would be wonderful if we had data from a hundred years ago to compare with. Unfortunately there were no global opinion polls at the time. We take pride in saying that with rising number of global polls on social issues, our future generations will be less handicapped in such analyses Methodology: The global barometer of hope and despair is an annual tradition initiated by and designed under the chairmanship of Dr. George Gallup in 1977. It is conducted every year since then. This year it was carried out by associates of WIN-Gallup International in 57 countries around the world. Sample Size and Mode of Field Work: A total of 51,927 persons were interviewed globally. In each country a national probability sample of around 1000 men and women was interviewed either face to face (35 countries; n=33,890), via telephone (11 countries; n=7,661) or online (11 countries; n=10,376). Details are attached. The field work was conducted during November 2011- January 2012. In general the

error margin for surveys of this kind is +3-5% at 95% confidence level. Weighting: The global average has been computed according to the share of the covered adult population of the surveyed countries.

Note on Turkey and Hong Kong: Both Turkey and Hong Kong show notable change since 2005. These changes are not from a faith to atheism but a shift from selfdescription of being Religious to Not Religious. We have requested researchers in both countries to investigate reasons which might explain this extra-ordinary shift.
