A recent server was done in several EU contries. I haven't been able to find all the answers but the amount of people beliveing in one or many gods were here in sweden arounr 45%. The countri with the least amount of belivers was the Tjeck Republic with only 35%.

I must also add that a big part of these for me suprisingly high 45% in Sweden are people that claim to belive in "something that we don't know about", and not any traditional religion.

Not as glamerous as the chart, but I heard it somewhere

let's wish it lower by having faith

You don't mean to suggest that, like, 89% of statistics are made up on the spot, or something like that, like?

14% are non-religious. Not too bad I think, there is still hope for humankind.

isnt Budhism almost like atheism=no gods belief?

Europe: 18%
Africa: 0.41%
Asia: 25%

There is also this two year old survey on the percentage of people, by nation, who say religion is very inportant to them.
