In der Karte Je dunkler, desto weniger Beteiligung
Hier sind die gesamten Daten (mit Einzelheiten zu jeder italienischen Provinz/Stadt): https://public.flourish.studio/visualisation/27185742/
Kontext
In Italien sieht das Konkordat zwischen Italien und der katholischen Kirche in jeder Schule, von der Grundschule bis zum Gymnasium, 1-2 optionale Stunden pro Woche für den Unterricht der katholischen Religion vor.
Die Beteiligung war im 20. Jahrhundert immer sehr hoch, begann dann zu sinken und im Schuljahr 2024/25 erreichte die Nichtbeteiligung mit 17,7 % über 1 Million Menschen, allerdings mit sehr starken Kontrasten innerhalb des Landes.
Unter den Großstädten stechen Florenz/Firenze (51 %) und Bologna (47 %) durch Nichtbeteiligung hervor. Im Süden Italiens hingegen beträgt die Nichtbeteiligung zwischen 3 und 5 %.

Why am I not surprised by Florence?
Literally every map of Italy.
Rich North, Poor South.
I’m reasonably sure that the varying foreign presence between North and South plays a role.
That is sad. Morality has fallen
Rich North, atheists
Poor South, catholics
The rich North-poor South discourse is only somewhat relevant here.
The North is wealthy, and as a result attracts many immigrants, including many who are not Christian or Catholic. Their children, consequently, do not take religious education in school.
The South, being poorer, does not attract as many immigrants, so you see this phenomenon less. The exceptions might be a few provinces like Ragusa and Trapani, which have large Tunisian communities.
I never did it from elementary school to the third year of high school.
Then I realised that, by doing it, I would get an extra credit. I never did any homework anyway in the spare hour. At least in elementary school they had us play games.
Therefore, I did it in the 4th and 5th year of high school.
The teacher actually doesn’t speak about religion. They talk about love, friendship, philosophy etc.
TIL that Italy still has Catholic Religion class in school and has not moved to Religion Class. I’m actually surprised.
Beautifully shaded map
As a former northern Italian I must say that although being an atheist I participated in the class just for fun
Don’t tell me the city of the first university of Italy and questionably the first of Europe, Bologna, and the city where Humanism and Renaissance were born, Firenze, are the least influenced in Italy by the mythology of a relatively bizarre creed, a mixture of Semitic monotheism and Roman polytheistic idolatry of statues ie Roman Catholicism?
Who on Earth would’ve guessed?
/sarcasm off/
What immigration does to a country 💔
The Renaissance cities holding fast!
The Italian North-south divide is deeply rooted in political History (dating as far back as the Middle Ages).
It’s funny how the more religious areas has lesser population growth also…
