2. What do you want to get explained?

3. Whats not to understand?

4. I guess you would like to know, why there are almost no religious people in eastern Germany? Because ddr was against churches.

5. You mean Hamburg? It’s a long tradition that the people of Hamburg do not accept a foreign lord.

   Or Frankfurt? They pray to stocks and money only.

6. None of us is a Germany either. So what is unclear about this clearly labeled map?

7. For starters: to my knowledge the wars between catholics and Protestants lead to a more Protestant north (Europe wide) and a more catholic south.

   The huge black area is the former GDR (DDR) , which was socialist and to my knowledge against churches.

   The large grey area in the north is Hamburg. Hamburg is one of the most modern and young cities in Germany and therefore tends to no religion
