http://www.adherents.com/largecom/com_atheist.html I voted 'Sweden' since usually those in the richer countries usually do not attend churches while those in poorer countries do attend. I barely recall a missionary talking about Sweden being a mission field and he compared how usually how wealth could affect church attendance. Voted : Japan this one?

Voted : Russia This one, Russia, I suppose, as the expressed belief in a god was at one time prohibited there. I would not consider to be atheistic those religions where the main worship is of household "gods", such as in Vietnam.

Voted : Vietnam Communism and church don't really go together. I would not consider Japan and Vietnam to be atheistic because they do believe in their own panoply of gods. I think that being Atheistic does not just mean not believing in the single Judeo-Christian God; it means not believing in ANY God or gods at all. Therefore, pagans or pantheists would not be atheistic because they believe in many gods.

Its actually China. China has 600 millions athiests. Thats 6 times larger than all of these countries total population!!! combined!!!! Countries that have been communist or experienced many wars have a lot of athiests. Only opposite of that I poland which lost a lot of people In WWII but has a 98% Catholic pop.
