Answer:
About 2.3% of the worls considers themself Atheist.
There are no definitive statistics to answer this question because no actual world census of atheists has ever been made.
Some opinions from contributors:
16% of the world (1,1 billion) profess to be secular/non-religious/agnostic/atheist. It is thought that about 2.5 % of these are atheist. However, the figure is vague because many atheists don't proclaim their belief for fear of reprisal.
An additional 6% of the world population are Buddhist. Conceptually Buddhism is atheistic in that it does not believe in a supreme being or creator.
Adherents.com reports that 16 percent of people are non-religious. This includes atheists and agnostics.
1.1 billion people are estimated to be nonthiest/atheist.
From a current estimated population of 6.7 billion, that is approximately 15%.

And, many times, atheists are afraid to identify themselves. That being said; according to Wikipedia sources and a 2002 survey by Adherents.com, estimated the proportion of the worlds people who indentify as "secular, non-religious, agnostic or atheist", at around 14%.
Other polls, both official and unofficial, place the number at about 0% (Nigeria) to 39% (UK) and some as high worldwide as 52% - 72% in the west.
The definition of "theist" is dependant on many factors - many religions do not agree on which god o gods to worship and "non-believers may not be lumped in with the theists.

A 2002 survey by Adherents.com, which estimates the proportion of the world's people who are "secular, non-religious, agnostics and atheists" at about 14% . The accuracy of the number is difficult to prove as many societies make non-religion essentially a criminal matter (in Christian/Muslim countries). in some, like China, the state is officially non-religious which would make almost 20% of the population of the Earth non-religious if only China weere counted.
Data indicates that China with 20% of the worlds population is 47% atheist. This equivalent to about 10% of the world population. In other counties of the world data is hard to come by . For example:
