what happens if we guess DPRK and there is no data? is the answer wrong? because they're probably a good candidate to be there too

but i think we should guess russia. i think religion was outlawed there 30 years ago. i think people still illegally worshipped and practiced, but probably not enough religion to keep them out of the least religious countries in the world.

less certain about the other soviet countries cuz they are kinda rebellious against russia

and i think i'd put in dprk too.

so maybe just take out your bottom two and put in russia and dprk?

Round 1:
Name as many of the top 20 countries as you can with the greatest proportion of people without religion (including agnostics, atheists, secular believer, and people having no formal religious adherence)

For reference, I'm using the WIN-Gallup International Association for this as its based on what people actually say.

japan - yes! Number 13 with 60%

china- yes! Number 1 with 90%

norway- yes! Number 10 with 62%

finland- ooh cutting it fine.... Number 19 with 55%

russia

Spoiler:

dprk

Well my 'educated' guesses was that I was sure I heard somewhere Scandinavian countries weren't religious so would've said Norway/Sweden/Finland/Denmark

Would've said Iceland as well, surprised the UK&IRE are on the list.

Probably would've gone with Russia as well, so a good pass!

I asked effectively the same question when I ran the game a while ago. We should do a different question.

I know there are 2 or 3 that are popular in East Asia or the Philippines, but most of them are well-known in North America.

KFC
Starbucks
McDonalds
Burger King
Taco Bell
Wendy's
Dunkin Donuts
Dominos
Papa Johns
Arby's
Pizza Hut
Baskin Robbins
Tim Hortons

I know there's another pizza one in there, but it's regional and I've never seen one in Florida.
