Presumably by „religious“ this only counts people who define themselves as being of a religion AND practice said religion? Otherwise the figures are incorrect for the UK. The 2021 census for England and Wales (Scotland will be similar, but only accounts for less than 10% of the UK, Northern Ireland even less) were:
61% on Russia is bullshit. It’s like 50% at very best

It’s funny how Latin America still practices the religion of the people who colonized them, meanwhile the country of the colonizers is almost non religious. It also doesn’t help that the United States was sending missionaries to Latin America during the 60s and 70s to help spread their evangelical clown show.

A lot of the grey countries are grey because asking such question is meaningless since it has the potential to ruin someone’s life or in some cases cause their death if they answer truthfully.

The vibe around this between Canada and US is so different in big and small ways. I ran into someone from Oklahoma a few weeks ago (in Canada) and he ended up asking if I was Christian. I found it an uncomfortable question. I realized it’s a pretty normal question in the US, but it’s extremely rare for someone to ask that as part of small talk here.
I suspect most Canadians would consider it rude because we tend to see religion as a personal matter in the public space. Very different!

Japan at 13% Buddhism and Shinto are basically forced into the culture of everyone, how is it not much higher

How are they defining religious? Because I don’t believe the Russia number for a second.

Data about global religious observance is challenging to represent accurately – primarily because it means so many different things to different people across the world.
Almost everyone in Japan engages in Shinto festivals and religious rituals, and most engage in occasional Buddhist ceremonies as well, yet if you ask the average Japanese person if they are religious, they will say no. Similarly, if you define religious to mean „member of a congregation who regularly attends service“ this will also not include the majority of the Japanese population, as Shintoism and Japanese Zen Buddhism do not have parishes or congregations in the same way that Abrahamic religions do.
China falls in the same category; most people visit shrines, venerate their ancestors, celebrate traditional religious festivals and hold some form of belief in spiritualism, cosmology and traditional medicine (which is often rooted in spiritual or cosmological beliefs) but would not consider themselves religious if asked.
There are many other countries that have similar systems of religion and spiritualism as well, which makes it difficult to represent this statistic graphically.

61% – Russia?) hah it’s fake. Ask people on a street when they was in church last time and almost answer 1-5 years ago.

The meaning of the question varies greatly depending on how flexible the rules of a given religion are in that country.

About Russia. Not even close. In fact one of the least religious countries. Except maybe traditionally Muslim territories.

Where do these statistics for Russia come from? For example, according to police statistics, less than 1.5% of the population attends major religious holidays, and this number is declining.

Admiring China and Japan.
61 % Russians is a very exaggerated figure.

The 2021 census for England and Wales (Scotland will be similar, but only accounts for less than 10% of the UK, Northern Ireland even less) were:
* **Christian:** 46.2%
* **No religion:** 37.2%
* **Muslim:** 6.5%
* **Hindu:** 1.7%
* **Sikh:** 0.9%
* **Buddhist:** 0.5%
* **Jewish:** 0.5%
* **Other religions:** 5.5%
