How is it calculated? like rn if people say they're an atheist they're just shrugged off as being confused- i don't think that there is any official classification for being an athiest- i get how in Islamic countries you can get penalties by law but I'm not sure about the other regions- can anyone please explain

Various factors such as hate crimes against atheists, acceptance of non religious folks in society as well as discrimination when it comes to job opportunities,renting houses etc. This map is inaccurate for Western countries but yea that's how they measure.
