Pew Research reported in 2012:
{{Cquote|Atheists and agnostics are particularly likely to be non-Hispanic whites. Fully eight-in-ten atheists and agnostics (82%) are white, 3% are black, 6% are Hispanic, and the remainder is of some other race or of mixed race.
Atheists and agnostics are much more likely to be male (64%) than female (36%).<ref>[http://www.pewforum.org/2012/10/09/nones-on-the-rise-demographics/#race-and-ethnicity “Nones” on the Rise
