Importance of Religion to Europeans

  1. For me, religion plays a role only during weeding, funeral & holidays. It’s just mixed up with culture. And out of those, you will only spot me in church during weddings & funerals. I think a lot of people are like that.

  2. I am pretty sure the percentage in France would be a lot lower without the muslim population. BTW, not a racist comment, I just happen to see much more people on Friday going to the mosque when I pass in front of it than people going to the church on Sunday.

  3. Different cohorts and subsets that fall under the broad ‘European’ category are will answer very differently and skew results. Ethno-religiously homogenous societies which are far and few in Europe will be the only group accurately represented in these studies. For eg, UK is like 80-90% Christian and more or less irreligious, so answer of importance might be 10% or lower, yet the remaining Muslims and Jews that make up small proportion of population would answer higher, in the 80/90 %s

  4. Denmark: “We were going to go to church on Sunday, but someone made it part of the weekend, so we were out drinking the night before…”

  5. France 11%? about 10% of the population is Muslim, and there are just as many Jews and Christians who are fervent believers.

  6. from my circle of fam and friends its mostly the older people that are very religious, but there’s still many people i know including myself that are agnostic/ spiritual types..grew up with athiest mindset then we have few trips on lsd / mushrooms and are like ‘reality / universe is super weird tho’ lol
