I think that 1% of my city (Houston, TX) is atheist.

in that regard, you're very, very fortunate. i'm envious. dare i say i covet?

I'm originally from Manchester, North-west England. I think most people are atheist/agnostic or apathetic towards religion. I now live in Lancaster (most of the year) which is about 55 miles north of Manchester. It's a much smaller city (in fact it probably only qualifies as a city because historically it was called one) but I do notice a much higher concentration of churches, which I guess makes sense, small town, less metropolitan etc. In the University where I live I think most people aren't religious although there are some fairly extreme religious groups (always in a minority) on campus.

Lawrence is a pretty liberal city.  Sadly to say I'm farther south in Wichita.

i couldn't find anything easily available about atheist ratio in st. louis, but my father-in-law lives there and he took my wife and i on a tour of his youth ministry. it was rather creepy, an extremely huge compound-like facility with multiple cathedrals, offices, kitchens, theaters, gyms, etc.

Apparently, we are a closed-mouthed people:

39,769 of the 54,501 people living in this rural county won't say what religion they are.  I should have suspected as much.   It's kind of funny.  

Yes people in Hongkong are cool when it comes to religion among other things. I like the fact that they keep their own faiths private which is what it ought to be IMO.

Over here in Singapore although the majority of the population are theists and practice a religion, they accept the fact that there are atheists among their neighbourhood, workplace and all. However even as they accept, you will always get to see the youth wing of the churches going around talking to people around their age in shopping malls, schools and all. Very annoying and they seek only to convince. Grr to that. As rare as it is, I am sure that I am not the only one who find them annoying but I seem to be the only one I know who has written to the MPs about this. Nothing has been done so far and of course, it is not a surprise.

I live in a village of under 300 people, so I never really thought about that question. My guesstimation from the conversations I have had with them all over time would probably put it at a rough 1/3rd.

I do know that there are 12 registered voters that belong to that marijuana political party, and sure enough, every election, they get someone on the ballot for one office or another. So there is a good chance that they might believe in something, even if it is the loathing of stems and seeds?

I bet they're all at NASA too.

There are approximately 16 churches in the semi-city I live in right now, for 22,000 people. As a ratio, that's less than 1 church per thousand people. I like it. Not good enough though.

Not all of the interior is all that bad. I lived by Kelowna for 5 years and didn't run against much in the way of religion.

But then again, the area was full of weed. Maybe people were smoking too much to care about some invisible god when they could actually see other things.

Out of my close group of friends in Mancs about half of us are atheist. The interesting thing is that the half of us that are atheist are the ones doing scientific or philosophical degrees. There's only one of the group studying philosophy who still adamently clings to his religion (his dad's a vicar). I'd probably say my group of friends provides a reasonable demographic microcosm of Manchester.

I guess I'm kinda lucky because in the Bryan/College Station area according to ARDA 75291 out of 152415 people (49%) aren't claiming a religion. This is a far stretch from my former residence (Beaumont/Port Arthur TX) where only 137,310 of 385,090, or 36%, aren't claiming a religion. As someone stated before this might have to do with the fact that college station is a college town but that isn't in the statistics.

well I live right next to philly so i got RRS in my backyard. Thats pretty awesome. Anyway here in Upper Darby i go to a school (High School) of 4k ppl. I can't finad ANY other atheists. So i don't know. Pretty damn small.

I have no clue. Most people I've come across are mostly apathetic but kinda believers or call themselves religious but are actually deistic. There's quite a few fundies around here too. But when I went to the public library every single atheist book was checked out, so that might say something. And I live quite close to Muncie, IN, too. But then on the other hand there seem to be quite a lot of churches around here.

I live in the area of San Jose, CA, about fifty miles south of San Francisco. This is a pretty liberal area. I live in a shared house with four other seniors. Out of five, two of us are atheists, two are pretty strong christians and another is trying to be religious, but not very serious about it. We athiests talk to each other once in a while, but out of hearing of the other three. It's best to keep peace in the house. 

I've found some stats for England and Wales. It doesn't seem which is reliable.

 BSA means Brisitsh Social Attitudes survey. Personally I don't believe Census' to be entirely accurate, my parents put Christian down on their census forms despite the fact they aren't. It's a cultural thing. As well as this I must also point out that on Census 2001, so many people put Jedi down under religion that it is now officially a religion in the eyes of the state bureaucracy. We can see from BSA that nearly half the country's population has no religious faith although many may consider themselves religious in a strictly cultural way (my parents made me put Christian down on my application for college (not University which is different) when I was 16 with the whole it's your cultural heritage argument. I however will break the chain when I come to fill in the census forms myself in 2011.
