==List of countries by Irreligion==
The [[Gallup poll]] has the most broad definition of irreligion: the question "Is religion important" was asked; the "no" answer is represented below. [[Dentsu|Dentsu Communication Institute]] provides data for respondents who stated they have "no religion". [[Phil Zuckerman]]<!-- red link as of 2009-04-23, but may be notable for polling work --> uses the strictest definition, citing "atheist and agnostic" proportion numbers. The numbers come from different years, and might not be accurate for countries with governments that require or urge religion or secularism.
