    1. Don’t know which year this map is from, but as of 2021 the number in Poland is 28%

      Nominally, I suppose. Though many ‚Christians‘ in said countries are largely culturally Christian.
      But actual belief wise the numbers are very likely a lot more.

      Even the 2010 Eurobarometer showed that the majority of people in most countries (except a few) subscribed to either ’spirit or life force‘ beliefs or ‚I don’t believe in a God, spirit or life force‘. Sweden for example only had 18% of its population believing in a God.

      And that was 16 years ago, so the numbers would be even higher than that.

      I think the reason the Danish one is so low is because most Danes are part of the Danish church and just pay the church tax, without actually attending church or being religious

      Thats somewhat weird. Not calling it false but asking the exact methode, bc in Germany these numbers seem not… correct

    5. I figured Italy would be a lot lower because of their catastrophic fertility rate

    6. 35% of the Portuguese say they don’t have a religion. The majority of the ones who reply Catholic don’t even practice the religion. Why do this maps always have random values for Portugal? Is it just for the meme?

    7. This data seems to be either completely incorrect or at least **very** outdated

    8. Im from Denmark and I don’t know a single Christian person. This map probably just references who is part of the church, which doesn’t necessarily mean you’re religiously affiliated – we just have a tradition of being baptised, but barely anyone actually believes in a god

      The Irish one is just statistics, the census asks what denomination you are, and most people are catholic, but observant catholics, as in going to mass, unless its a funeral, wedding or confirmation/commnunion, is less than 20%

      If East Germany were its own country, we would beat the Czechs. I have met *anyone* who is any way shape or form religious.

    11. Italy is that low because people who are baptized are actually in a registry that each Catholic priest in Italy must have and communicate to the Vatican, from what I know. But there are a lot of actual atheists in Italy they’re just registered as practicing Catholics by default.

      There is a practice to get you unbaptized too.

    12. I don’t think irreligious and religiously unaffiliated are quite the same thing.

      The percentage for Greece is wrong, it should be 9% as per the latest census.

      Interesting considering how hard the Czechs fought for their religion during the Hussite wars

      I would take that %14 of Turkey with a grain of salt.

      About %10 of Turkey prays daily, %30 attends the friday prayers weekly and %50 attends mosque for major holidays(twice a year max).

      And all of these are trending down in a major way.

      I think in most of the western world a lot of people are saying they’re part of a religion for cultural reasons and not necessarily being in a pew/on a carpet/before a shrine every week.

      I live in Greater Boston. A lot of people are gonna say they are catholic, few are actually going.

      Ok, now do how many people go to church more than once a month lol.

    18. 7% for Poland is BS, likely coming from the same data sources we owe the „overwhelmingly Catholic“ stereotype to. Meaning: baptism records. Baptisms are done here as a cultural thing, even by barely religious families. There’s a social pressure around it.

      For ’21, the census data was closer to 27%

    19. Think it should be at least 20% higher for Estonia, I don’t know a single practising religious person and churches, while there are many, are just pretty and old architecture.

    20. I don’t believe it’s true for Lithuania. If you’re getting baptised (which still happens a lot) you automatically are in church’s books and you’re counted as a religiously affiliated person even if you don’t believe in anything and haven’t been to church for your whole life. One needs to actively go out of church in order to not be counted as a religiouosly afficliated person. It’s a hassle so no one is doing that because it means nothing anyway,

    21. I am czech and I still remember how flabbregasted I was at the age of 13 when I learned religion is still a thing after hearing about it for so long in history class.

      Source, methodology? 

      In Hungary the last census was taken in 2022, 27% explicitly identified as atheist, while 40% declined to answer the question about religious affiliation, meaning that 67% of the population has no stated religious affiliation.

      OP: ‚Irreligious‘ and ‚religiously unaffiliated‘ to me mean two different things, and so do the dictionaries I have consulted.
