Global survey on atheism

I maintain, yet again, that global cross-cultural and cross-linguistic surveys are meaningless. Look at the methodology of this survey. They didn't even adhere to the same standards and methods in the survey.  And notice that in some countries they conducted face-to-face interviews while in others they conducted telephone interviews. And they don't tell us what word they used across culture.  There are tons of words in Arabic to render the meaning of atheism.  Finally, in some countries they decided to only interview people in urban areas.
