∙ 12y agoEstimations for open atheists are about 160,000,000. Closet atheists could account for much more, hundreds of millions or perhaps billions, but then again they could account for few, such as thousands. The exact number may never be known since in some cultures being an atheist is punishable by death.

As such, it's generally agreed upon that 8-15% of the U.S population is non-religious which includes atheists, agnostics, skeptics of any kind, and just people that don't care.

In some senses, agnosticism is a stance about the difference between belief and knowledge, rather than about any specific claim or belief. In the popular sense, an agnostic is someone who neither believes nor disbelieves in the existence of a deity or deities.
A theist believes in the existence of a deity or deities, while an atheist disbelieves (does not believe in) the existence of any deity or deities at all.
