To be honest, I expected the Netherlands to be much lower. Also surprised by Hungary, Serbia, Russia, and Bulgaria.
Southern Moravia really skewing the data
There must be pockets of highly religious people somewhere in Denmark because I don’t know any Danes who go to church monthly.
Notice how the most religious countries are also the safest ones, and as religion collapses, social coesion lowers and social problems dramatically increase.
dang, the Teutonic Knights are gonna have to reinvade Estonia to get their butts back in church on Sunday
24% is so much higher than I expected
Did they do the survey in front of a church or how do they get these numbers?
Im german and i dont know a single person that goes to church monthly. Most people i know go on christmas/easter or not at all.
Germany is skewed. East Germany probably at 3% – Bavaria at 35%
As usual with these kinds of maps, you can see that (with some exceptions) the Catholic and Orthodox countries are usually more devout than the Protestant ones.
Surprised there isn’t data for vatican city.
Poland is too low, should be above 70-75%.
It would be interesting to see this distribution along various age cohorts as well.
In the case Poland you gotta take into consideration the peer pressure from older family members and people who simply lie because it’s not socially acceptable to not be catholic because of the first factor. Not to mention the church itself and the current Polish “government” (in quotation marks cause this circus ain’t a government) are deeply invested in keeping up the illusion that the quickly failing catholic church is actually doing fine.
I’d bet my kidney the actual number is AT LEAST 50% lower, if not 80%. The statistic may have been true right after WW2, or the generation afterwards, but pretty much never in Polish history after that period.
As an Italian I’d love to see the data for every age group, it’d be interesting.
We’ll always have the Vatican, but after the older generations are gone I think there will be a huge decrease.
So the Poles win the gullibility contest
POLSKA GUROM🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱💪💪💪💪💪✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️⛪⛪⛪⛪⛪⛪🙏🙏🙏🛐🛐🛐 /s
X doubt
Somehow 100-(the figures on the map) shows me the intelligence level of the countries..
Ireland : Almost finished recovering from the effects of the church, but still has a little bit of a way to go.
Poland : Christianity is pretty much engrained in Polish culture and national identity, to the point it directly affects the nations politics.
