Specific research on atheists conducted in 2006 [http://www.harrisinteractive.com/news/allnewsbydate.asp?NewsID=1131 suggests] that the true proportion of atheists is 4% in the United States, 17% in Great Britain and 32% in France. In the United States, however, 14% of the respondents identified themselves as agnostic; 6% declined to say; and 3% indicated they were unsure of their beliefs. When added to the 4% of the U.S. population that are hard-line atheists, it appears that fully 27% of the U.S. population do not ascribe to religious views.
