According to the South African National Census of 2001, irreligion accounts for the religious beliefs of 15.1% of people in South Africa.[1]

A 2012 poll indicated that the number of South Africans who consider themselves religious decreased from 83% of the population in 2005 to 64% of the population in 2012.[2]
