In my bubble nearly everyone left the church when their first letter demanding church tax arrived. We were just not religious, but had been baptised as this was kind of the cultural norm when we were babies.

Honestly, I thought about not dicking in here but then I remembered the American evangelicals, so yeah I think we need to get up those rucky numbers up.

Great news.

The moment social pressure is gone, people abandon religion. We pretend faith is a personal thing, but it really is a group delusion

A real shame.

Wait, I thought Europe was set to be an Islamic theocracy by 2030?

If we didn’t import a bunch of religious conservatives this would be great news pointing to Europe overall growing out of religion.

There’s just one unsettling development reflected in this data. And those numbers are from 2020 already..

This chart shows the percentage of religious in various religions. It doesn’t show the percentage of the population that is religious.

I severely doubt that even a third of those “christians” are actually practicing/believing christians, it’s just culture christianity, i know for a fact that here in Denmark nearly everyone is baptized but they just do it because “thats what you do”
The numbers are being kept artificially high

I’m not being forced to pay a tax. Can still identify as a Christian whether it shows up as a statistic or not.

I would like to see how many of them make life choices based on religion.
I have a feeling that most people in Europe under 50 doesn’t really care about religion. They just saying they are part of some religion, because that’s how they ware rised, but it has no impact on thier lives, and it’s just a tradition (like weddings etc).

If I’m not mistaken, Romania and Greece are the EU’s least secularised countries. Coincidentally, they are also among the most conservative and homophobic. Not to mention that both countries struggle with corruption, nepotism, clientelism, and generally poor governance – what a strange coincidence, isn’t it? Honestly, I can’t wrap my head around why, after so many decades, these countries still haven’t aligned with the EU in terms of mentality, especially given that we’re in the 21st century.

The drop in Christian population is among other things because people now identify as religiously unaffiliated to avoid paying a church tax.

You’re wrong. Your worldview is warped by Christian Fundamentalism.
Education will destroy religion over time. Christianity and Islam the same.
A difference is that traditional Christian countries are more educated on average. This will change, for instance the increasingly poor American education system.

How do they count Christians however? For example I was baptized and did my Confirmation, but I don’t consider myself a Christian and never go to church (unless it’s for sight seeing when I’m on vacation or something).

Christianity dropped to what number?

So do Europeans pay taxes to the church , if they are Christian?
In the UK , churches collect directly from their members , and fund raise.

En France, les statistiques ethnique et religieuse sont quasiment interdite, question d’égalité. Il me semble que la loi a évolué un peu récemment.
Un sondage de 2012 donnaient 37% de croyant, 34% de non religieux et 29% d’athée convaincu.
Si on regarde les catégories du tableau, il faudrait mettre 63% de non affilié.

Funny, Islam growth scaled back a lot, so Europe wouldn’t be islamized after all.

In the Netherlands the government doesn’t know the religions of their citizens.

I am surprised that 2/3 of europeans define rhemselves as religious (believing in any god).
Me personslly i don’t know anybody who’s really religious/believer- but i guess it might be just my bubble…

67% too much.
