I just found it interesting that the most religious country on the list is Turkey - their religion of choice is Islam.
I’m moving to Romania!
Mr. Mercat and I went to a wonderful Mass outside Salzburg today. It’s the Harvest Festival!!!

I wonder how the Russian statistics would compare.
10 of the EU countries are former Communist countries, where people were subjected for years to official atheist propaganda, but 7 of the 10 have a lower ratio of atheists than the EU as a whole (the “EU27” figure). Romania had more than 40 years of an atheistic government yet only 1% of the current population identifies as atheists.
That’s one of the really surprising things about Europe, Germanic countries especially— how tied their religious observances are to solar and lunar events.
The islamists will gladly die for their moon god. The EU cabal are dyed in the wool atheist-humanists who are more than willing to trade out dying Christianity in Europe for a murder cult as long as they maintain “control” (a pipe dream).
Belief in God why the Muslims are overrunning weak, atheist Europe.
Every Western European I’ve ever met was either Atheist or Agnostic. With Islam taking over their countries, wonder how that’s working out for them.
"I don't believe there is any sort of Spirit, God, or Life force."
vs
I don't know.
Seems to me the first one includes people that don't know. Would have been better I think to do it this way:
"I believe there is no sort of Spirit, God or Life force."
vs
I am not sure if there is some sort of Spirit, God, or Life force.
As it is, they have muddled "Don't know" with those that are not sure enough to say they believe, which they mixed in with those that actively deny, and those in between.
Besides Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Serbia, Bosnia and Hercegovina, Montenegro, Macedonia, Albania and Kosovo are not included. The figures for Cyprus probably do not include the Turkish-occupied area of the island.
