      I think in the last census in Australia there was a very large percentage of “no religion”, but still surprised it isn’t blue

      Being „technically Christian“ and a „practising Christian“ is really different. I am technically a Christian because my parents baptised me as a baby but I am no way a practising Christian.

      If you’re telling me that over 50% of French people are practising Christian, well, haha.

      Not every single country here is a shithole! Big improvement from the islam one.

      In Sweden a majority is still members of the national Lutheran church, the former state church, as most of us we were born into it. However, only a minority are religious and even fewer practice our faith. The same is true for all Nordic countries.

      Canada has a new census this year, and I would bet that our number dips under 50%. It was 53% in 2021.

      My country is in that map and „practiced by more than 50%“ is not technically correct by a long far. Babies are baptized (against their will for obvious reasons) and unless they apostatize when they grow up (which is a tedious process) they are counted as Catholics. Many won’t pay a visit to a church except for exceptional occasions and usually not for religious reasons.

      It is not practiced. People are written up as christians. Quite a difference between someone saying you are a christian and you going to church.

      Good old UK with the “we don’t do God” attitude. It’s political suicide to say you consulted your faith or prayed for the answer to do something.

      Canada is going to turn grey after the census data is released or close to anyway

      As Estonia is left out, I think it’s pretty accurate! A bit surprised about Germany , but it could be correct…

      Using Wikipedia for this is bad. It only accounts for members of a church, not how many are practising, so the title is misleading. I’ll give an example from my country.

      In Denmark, anyone who is baptised at birth in a church is a member of the established church. That doesn’t mean you’re practising Christianity. For many people, even non-christian families, being baptised in a church is simply a cultural thing, not religious. Now this is done before you even know what is happening yourself, and you are now a forced member of the Church until you turn 18, unless your parents take you out of it.

      It’s a terrible metric by all accounts. Wikipedia puts nearly 77% of people in Denmark as Christian, which is completely laughable when you consider that under 3% of the population ever attends service and less than 20% calls Christianity an important part of their life and believe in Jesus. But Wikipedia puts 77% of people as Christian, including people that are members of the church but still does not believe (including me). There are hundreds of thousands of people who are members of the Church simply because the hassle of getting out of it is not worth the effort and the miniscule amount of church tax we pay.

      Eg. I am a member of the established Church and pay my church tax every year. I am not a Christian in any way and I do not believe that there is any god. This chart would put me in the ‚Christian‘ category, despite me being a vivid non-believer, simply because I am a member and pay church tax.

      The title of the map disagrees with the definition in the Wikipedia source cited.

      „Christians for each country is based on the number of people who are members of a [Christian denomination](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_denomination) or who identify themselves as Christian, plus their children“ is a lot different than „christianity is practised“

    20. Sonny1x on

      50% of the population in Sweden,

      Are **not** practicing christians…

      Also, **wikipedia is not a source**, genuinely what the fuck man just open the article and cite the source **found inside it**

      For example, is it not relevant this map is from 2011?

      And that the source states it’s an **“Estimated 2010
      Christian Population“**

      **ESTIMATION**.

      You’re posting a map, from 15 years ago, based on an estimation,

      And yourself making an assumption its current and factual. It’s honestly appalling.

      There’s no way more than 5 people out of 10 practice christianity in Italy.

      It’s more like 0,005 out of 10 lol

    26. Phase-Internal on

      What a pile of crap map. It is simply incorrect.

      Practicing means actually going to church at least once in a while..

    27. RefRide on

      Practicing christianity would be the wrong word to use for most of the countries in blue. Nordics for example, my guess would be that less than 5% actually believe in it and go to church on a regular basis, and if we would go by American standards of religiousness I doubt it would even be 1%.

      Mostly it’s just culture and history, something people grew up with, nice to go to a church during Christmas or weddings, but most don’t actually believe in it.

    28. MossyPiano on

      I’m not sure how you define practicing Christianity, but only about 30% of Irish people attend church regularly. You probably should have said this is a map of counties where over 50% of people claim to be Christian.

    29. Micah7979 on

      Bullshit map, there are already 51% atheists in France, and the rest contains all the religions including christianity, islam, buddhism, judaism, hinduism…
