Irreligion in Uganda

Irreligion in Uganda refers to the population in Uganda that identifies as atheist, agnostic, or unaffiliated with any religion. Uganda is a highly religious country, with Christianity and Islam dominating, but a small, growing number of individuals profess no religious belief. Estimates from a 2014 Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS) census suggest about 0.2% of the population (roughly 70,000 people) are irreligious, though underreporting is likely due to social stigma. Irreligion is more common in urban areas like Kampala and among younger, educated Ugandans, influenced by global trends and access to secular ideas.
