As with any demographic poll of religion, and especially Atheism, there might be slight inaccuracies. Sometimes, "non-affiliated" or "Agnostic" will be considered "Atheist". 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.
