Are atheists: believers in no god at all, believers in a god but not the christian god, believers in the asker's own sect's opinion of what god is, believers that only pay lip service to their sect's god(s).
The Dalai Lama estimates that more than 2/3 of the world does not believe in any god(s)
One answer:
The estimated number of atheists in the world is approximately fifty percent. One must realize, that irrespective of the multiple religious organisations, a lot of people do not really follow the 'faith' because of true belief. Survival is intrinsic to humans, therefore, it might be more appropriate to verbally acknowledge belief to be accepted, but internally one might differ.
