Add Atheism info box to all atheism related talk pages (use {{WikiProject Atheism}} or see info box)
Ensure atheism-related articles are members of Atheism by checking whether [[Category:Atheism]] has been added to atheism-related articles – and, where it hasn't, adding it.
Try to expand stubs. Ideas and theories about life, however, are prone to generating neologisms, so some stubs may be suitable for deletion (see deletion process).
State atheism needs a reassessment of its Importance level, as it has little to do with atheism and is instead an article about anti-theist/anti-religious actions of governments.

You can't without an autoconfirmed account; however, if you give "a complete and specific description" of what changes you want (including which pie chart, there are two in the article). Someone will do it, if it is an improvement. --Erp (talk) 04:47, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The article states that India has the second highest number of Buddhist adherents after China, yet the proportion of Buddhists is stated as 0.7% of the population of India. This would equate to a number of around 10 to 11 million adnerents of Buddhism in India based on its current population. This would put India behind countries such as Thailand, Myanmar, Japan and Vietnam (which have a majority of citizens expressing a belief in Buddhism), in terms of number of Buddhists. The article either needs a concrete justification of the claim that India has the second highest number of Buddhist adherents in the world after China, or an ammmendment to reflect the true situation. Either the claim in the article or the statistics cited must be wrong. 90.252.109.73 (talk) 18:26, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
