    A debate on who thinks more - religious or atheists.
    First, I think that it is a pointless silly debate.

    The answer is that it depends on many factors.

    When and where you were born.
    There was a time when just about everybody was religious.
    In my lifetime this has changed and in some places by a considerable margin.
    In many countries "non-religion" has become more popular and maybe in some "religion" has become more popular although I don't know where "religion" has become more popular.
    In some countries, some people have changed their religious affiliation.

    Ethnic origin
    In some countries, some people of certain ethnic origins are more or less "religious" than others.

    Interests, education and occupation
    There is a vast difference in "religious" uptake depending on interests, education and occupation.
    Compared to the physical and biological sciences the uptake in "religion" is greater in the arts.

    Other factors?

    ---
    Quoting "religious" uptake among Nobel Prize winners is meaningless without the consideration of these factors.
