Europe and cancer
The World Health Organization declares concerning Europe: "Europe comprises only one eighth of the total world population but has around one quarter of the global total of cancer cases with some 3.7 million new patients per year."[2]
Denmark, France, and Australia have significantly higher rates of individuals holding an atheistic worldview (see also: Irreligion in Denmark, French atheism and Irreligion in Australia). According to the World Cancer Research Fund International, Denmark, France, and Australia have the three highest per capita cancer rates in the world.[3]
