Irreligion in the Philippines is not particularly well understood. It is difficult to quantify the number of atheists or agnostics in the Philippines as they are not officially counted in the census of the country, although the National Statistics Office (NSO) in 2010 gathered that 73,252 Filipinos have no religious affiliation or have answered "none". Since 2011, the non-religious increasingly organized themselves, especially among the youth in the country. There is a stigma attached to being an atheist in the Philippines, and this necessitates many Filipino atheists to communicate with each other via the Internet, for example via the Philippine Atheism, Agnosticism and Secularism, Inc. formerly known as Philippine Atheists and Agnostics Society.

  • My mother would go to church to ask for food and clothing and money, most Filipinos think that God provides. It will give a lot of people common sense when we let them know that there really is no God. (en)
  • When I asked some of the worshippers there why religion is so important to them, poverty was a common answer (en)
  • Its very important because we are very poor, so that’s the only thing we cling on to, the hope, every time we suffer, we all say, ‘That’s okay because it’s the will of God.’ (en)
