Well I suspect it would be effected by some heavy historical factors. Many areas of the world where religion is strongest are also third world countries, or very totalitarian.
The areas that would be giving good results to the non-religious demographic would be Scandinavia, England, Japan for example. These are places where, while religion exists, it is not given as much weight and it is much more accepted to have no religion or to be an atheist.
But it doesn't really have to do with anything, and as with most studies that examine a certain demographic, it doesn't mean that everyone in that demographic is accurately represented by the statistics. 100% rule.
