Theoretically it could also reflect the society. If 80% of people aren’t religious at all, then at most 20% are more religious than average.


It's been a while since this was updated (2014), but it indicates that over 50% of people consider religion "very important" in their life. Only 11% said religion was "not at all important."

So while you could imagine a society where 80% of people believe they aren't religious at all, the United States at least does not appear anywhere near that number.
