Data is ranked by mean estimate in parentheses. Irreligious includes agnostic, atheist, secular people, and those having no formal religious adherence. It does not necessarily mean that those 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 religion, 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. See Spiritual but not religious.

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 practice of Taoism has not been promulgated in America with much success;Occhiogrosso, Peter. The Joy of Sects: A Spirited Guide to the World's Religious Traditions. New York: Doubleday (1996); p. 192. 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, qigong, and various martial arts.{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/taoism/|title=BBC – Religion: Taoism|website=BBC|access-date=14 February 2015|archive-date=17 July 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170717063233/http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/taoism/|url-status=live}}

The Sikh homeland is the Punjab state, in India, where Sikhs make up approximately 58% 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.{{cite web|url=http://www.adherents.com/largecom/com_sikh.html|title=Sikhs|website=Adherents.com|access-date=8 November 2017|archive-date=28 February 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140228000914/http://www.adherents.com/largecom/com_sikh.html|url-status=usurped}} Sikhism is also the fastest growing religion in New Zealand and Australia.{{Cite web|title=Sikhs fastest-growing minority in NZ: Census|url=https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/archive/punjab/sikhs-fastest-growing-minority-in-nz-census-837571|access-date=2023-01-01|website=Tribuneindia News Service|language=en}}{{Cite web|title=Inside Australia's fastest growing major religion|url=https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/inside-australias-fastest-growing-major-religion/zk2n2bpz9|access-date=2023-01-01|website=SBS News|language=en}}
