12.896 new atheists / non-believers in the last 12 hours, or 1000 + per hour. How many is that per minute..
Thanks to Kacem El Ghazzali, I just becameaware of this.. somewhat alternative Census. It appears it was first launced in May by a Third Party, but ceased due to technical problems or something.
Anyway, Atheist Alliance International has it up and running, and I am more than happy to spread the message, and I sincerely hope you count yourself in.
I have highlighted Israel, and IRAN !!
As a Dane / Scandinavian, atheism is no big deal, as the vast majority of us are atheists, but I have registered in support of atheists World-wide, especially in the Arab World, where atheists suffer persecution. I invite you to do likewise.
While I’ve been writing this, – probably 20 min. or so, - 614 new atheists have registered, so the number is now 45.752 ! - I am definitely going to check their site tomorrow. If numbers keep climbing at that pace, this could turn into something very useful..
By the way, when you register, you are asked a few questions. First one is: As a non-religious person, which tittle would you prefer: 1.Atheist 2. Freethinker 3.Humanist 4.Rationalist 5. Secularist 6. Agnostic 7. non-religious
I chose Freethinker.
Atheist Census: Be counted !

I label myself a non-theistic existentialist. This is sort of agnostic, not exactly atheist. I believe that it is simply unknowable. So should I register? I definitely reject religion.
non-theistic existentialist ? – Guess what: That is pretty much how I’d label myself : ) – Of course you should register, either as an agnostic, or you could check “other”, which is also an option. Since I wrote this yesterday, 12.000 – Twelve Thousand ! – more non-religious people have registered ! – What are you waiting for ? – And have a nice day !
Well, I am in. I settled on Agnostic as that is the closest description I can hook onto from the their menu. And about 3500 more are in since just a few hours ago when I first signed up.
Great. – Yes, numbers are climbing at about 1000 every hour, so this census is getting a lot of attention, but it’s a long way still before we can say it is really succesful. I am pretty sure though, that non-believers in the Arab World, in Iran and other places will find it very supportive, so that alone makes it a succes. Think I’ll keep updating figures on this blog..
Nice! I’m registering right now. No Spaniards yet…
THANKS ! – No Spaniards.. hmm.. I wonder why.., that’s interesting, but it is not because there are not Atheist Spaniards, I know that much. – 12.000 more have registered since yesterday, that is very encouraging, and without hacking attacks, I dare not guess where numbers will end..
Well, I’m sharing this on facebook to see if I can get more to join in!
Just checked Spain: 404 have registered. – Viva la España !
Great, – I’ve done the same, as have thousands of others, – take a look at the counter at bottom of page where you registered. – I read this article yesterday, which may be of interest. I also wrote a comment there..
