Wie had het over atheïsten alleen? Nog nooit van agnosten gehoord? Die hebben tenminste de pretentie niet om te beweren dat ze de waarheid in pacht hebben.

Demographics of atheism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Atheists comprised an estimated 2.01%, and non-religious a further 16% of the world population. [1][2] In East Asia, atheists and the irreligious are the majority. Outside of East Asia and some European countries atheist or non-believer percentages are typically in the single digits. According to a study by WIN-Gallup International, the number of atheists is on the rise across the world, with religiosity generally declining.[3] On the other hand, a study by the Center for the Study of Global Christianity has concluded that atheism is on a global decline due to continuing steady increases in religiosity in China, which harbors the majority of atheists and non-religious people, and Eastern Europe which has had significant changes in religiosity after the fall of communism.[4]
