Europe is steaming ahead towards a true secular society. More and more people become atheists, agnostics or non-religious and that’s okay thanks to secularism. Let the Christians enjoy their churches but don’t drag everyone else into your tradition

As a Polish person – this is very much self-reported. It must be. If it’s 44% then it’s only because they want to be seen as attenders, and not because they attend.
The difference may be subtle for some, but I think it’s important to contrast ‚faithful’ posers to actual believers and weekly attenders.

Has anyone ever met a Latavian? I don’t think they exist.

Hungary once again proved you can be homophonic without being religious at all.

Definitely 44% of Poles don’t go to church every Sunday. The % are exaggerated

Slovakia managed to be very religious and very corrupt at the same time

I wonder what it is here, probably one of the higher ones if we were shown

I wonder what these numbers look like in the Vatican state

I don’t get why many protestant nations see catholic ones as more religiously devoted than themselves. It’s quite the opposite in many cases.

I have been working for many for many years with folks from the USA and their ability to have two faces, work and church Sunday is astonishing.
Fuck you in the office from Monday to Friday, be the best christian on Sunday.

So there’s Denmark and then there’s liars

I am surprised to see Germany so low on the list. Don’t they have a compulsory church tax? Maybe that is the reason.

Where do they get this data from? Honestly doubt the samples are accurate.

Ironic considering Denmark is not even a secular country

I’m actually proud to be a citizen of the least religious country in the western world. To me religion is probably the most destructive force in the world today, closely followed by endless growth capitalism.

Note that stats like these are based on surveys and rely on people being honest with themselves and interviewers.
A while back some researchers compared the numbers from surveys such as these with data gleaned from anonymity cell phone location data and found out that in many places in the US people will say they go to church/temple/whatever more often than they actually do.

Yet danish people keep claiming we are a deeply christian country.

Im not a European neither an American but look like religieous countries in Europe are those that just got democracy unlocked

Numbers seem way too high for Belgium. Most christian churches are barely used and closing at rapid speeds. Perhaps muslims drive up the statistics?

New England , as usual, being the least religious yet richest and best educated part of the country…

An American asked the question a decade ago why Denmark with a state religion is so much less religious than USA with (on paper) seperation of religion and state. If you got 20 minutes it is worth listening to his explanation.

Why do we give a shit about religious attendance in the US?
25% for Portugal? Sure, churches are always empty, but people want to convince other that they go to church.
In America there is the psychologist, in Romania we have church
