There are many source on the internet that give educated estimates of this. The important thing to realize is that there is no way to know exact numbers which is why the estimates could vary by 10% or more.
Generally speaking about 25% of the world is atheist/agnostic, over 33% Christian, under 33% Muslim and the rest split between various religions.
Edit:
I suggest looking at the Pew studies or the CIA factbook (both on line).

Given that there are plenty of religious atheists out there, your questin doesn't really have a rational answer.

Can't say, but there's more atheists in cities and more religious people in country areas.
