'''Remarks:''' Ranked by mean estimate which is in brackets. Irreligious includes agnostic, atheist, secular believer, and people having no formal religious adherence. It does not necessarily mean that members of this group don't belong to any religion. Some religions have harmonized with local cultures and can be seen as a cultural background rather than a formal religion. Additionally, the practice of officially associating a family or household with a religious institute while not formally practicing the affiliated religion is common in many countries. Thus, over half of this group is theistic and/or influenced by religious principles, but nonreligious/non-practicing and not true atheists or agnostics.<ref name="adherents.com"/> See ''[[Philosophy:Spiritual but not religious|Spiritual but not religious]]''.

===Taoists/Confucianists/Chinese traditional religionists===
As a spiritual practice, Taoism has made fewer inroads in the West than Buddhism and Hinduism. Despite the popularity of its great classics the I Ching and the Tao Te Ching, the specific practices of Taoism have not been promulgated in America with much success;<ref>Occhiogrosso, Peter. ''The Joy of Sects: A Spirited Guide to the World's Religious Traditions''. New York: Doubleday (1996); p. 192.</ref> these religions are not ubiquitous worldwide in the way that adherents of bigger world religions are, and they remain primarily an ethnic religion. Nonetheless, Taoist ideas and symbols such as Taijitu have become popular throughout the world through Tai Chi Chuan, Qigong, and various martial arts.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/taoism/|title=BBC – Religion: Taoism|website=Bbc.co.uk|accessdate=14 February 2015}}</ref>

The Sikh homeland is the Punjab state, in India, where today Sikhs make up approximately 61% of the population. This is the only place where Sikhs are in the majority. Sikhs have emigrated to countries all over the world – especially to English-speaking and East Asian nations. In doing so they have retained, to an unusually high degree, their distinctive cultural and religious identity.
Sikhs are not ubiquitous worldwide in the way that adherents of larger world religions are, and they remain primarily an ethnic religion. But they can be found in many international cities and have become an especially strong religious presence in the United Kingdom and Canada.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.adherents.com/largecom/com_sikh.html|title=Sikhs|website=Adherents.com|accessdate=8 November 2017}}</ref>
