Posting this as a sort of time capsule moment.
I'm kind of surprised at how many people prefer to call themselves humanist, freethinker, and rationalist. There are plenty of atheists who aren't any of those, so I don't know why you'd want to have that as the term.
I'm actually surprised at the high standings of Turkey and Brazil. I've never really heard much of atheism in Turkey and I thought South America was a very religious place (from what I've heard). It seems I may have missed on some information then. I suppose it also depends how many people actually find out about this and care to complete it, which doesn't seem to be all that many.
