Razib Khan points out in Discover Magazine, "most secular nations in the world are those of East Asia, in particular what are often termed 'Confucian societies'. It is likely therefore that the majority of the world’s atheists are actually East Asian."[2] See: Asian atheism

China has the world's largest atheist population and practices state atheism.[3][4]

East Asia contains about 25 percent of the world’s population. China’s population represents 20 percent of the people on earth.[5]

“  |  The mocking religion was founded in Las Vegas by atheist John Whiteside in 2010 as a protest to fight discrimination against atheists. Followers given titles such as ‘Bacon Prophet’, ‘Institutionalized Thought Leader’ and ‘Funkmaster General’. A statement on the United Church of Bacon website reads: ‘Officiates in the United Church of Bacon can perform legal weddings for those who don’t want God in their ceremony.

‘We’ll bring creative suggestions to make your wedding even more magical. Or if you already have a plan, we will follow your lead.’ The United Church of Bacon was slammed by religious groups after putting up several billboards around Las Vegas But John said: ‘We enjoy people mocking us. We mock ourselves. This isn’t supposed to offend anyone.’[6]
