Jewish people (Jewish meaning those who are members of the Jewish faith) are probably mostly theists and believe in the God of their religion. Jewish people (members of the Jewish cultural and ethnic community) are as likely to be atheists as any other group.

What percentage of people are atheists?

Reliable statistics are hard to come by. Many atheists do not declare their atheism.To further complicate the matter, some religions like Buddhism are atheistic, denying the existence of any god or gods, but many 'folk Buddhists' do believe in god. Also, Hinduism has many different strains of thought, ranging from polytheism, through to monotheism, panentheism and pantheism, and even a few atheistic schools. Unless we could ask every single person on earth whether they believe in god or not in a private setting so they'd be honest, we can't be sure how much of the worlds population is atheist.There is no reliable statistic for the number of atheists in the world due to several factors:No one is interested in counting that category.Many people are confused by that term thinking there are varying degrees of atheism.There are several world-wide organized "religious" groups that do not worship a supreme being.There is no umbrella organization that can assist in an accurate count of that category.Many people do not wish to identify themselves as atheists because of the inherent prejudice against atheists by leaders and members of various Christian amd Muslim sects.


How many atheists?
