For the first time in history there are an equal number of religious and non-religious people in the Netherlands, according to a report by Statistics Netherlands. Last year, 50 percent of the 18-years and older population were atheists, and 50 percent followed some form of religion, NOS reports.
The largest group of believers are Roman Catholics, with 24 percent of the population. Protestants follow with 15 percent. Around 5 percent of the Dutch population are Muslim and 6 percent adhere to other faiths like Buddhism, Judaism and Hinduism.

Something is going to fill that void, and they ain’t gonna like it.
What can you expect from people who wear wooden shoes?
So, bring in those who believe in Allah?
They will believe in allah..well, the Muslims that replace them will.
I was raised in a congregational church with a strong Dutch Reformed tradition. I met Jesus there. I learned the Bible there.
Within my lifetime, this church, and many others like it, has repudiated its historic confessions and has become, in effect, an anti-Christian coven of witches, lesbians, and satanists.
I have concluded (YMMV) that separation from the Church in the 1500s was eventually unsustainable.
New York Times promotes atheism on Christmas Day. Why am I not surprised?
Atheists believe they are gods unto themselves.
The creation of the universe sure seems like God to me, over ANY secular explanation.

This is one reason why they can’t understand Islam wants to kill them.
And, at least half of the Dutch will fall to the evils of Islam. Take it to the bank.
For the sake of peace because why not?
At least that is how they will explain it to themselves while not really believing.
I work with Dutch guys sometimes. Bunch of arrogant know-it-alls, mostly.
NL times...not NY times.netherland times...the only diety these folks believe in is their perishable brain and its functions...we are hoping that when they see how they think and function if their brain is damaged they will understand
They are the people that say , “I’m spiritual, not religious.”
There is no god but government and Obama is its’ prophet.
That is exactly why I believe the Anti Christ and his prophet, as outlined in the book of Revelation, is Muslim, not the Church of Rome, or one European government, etc., etc.
In the End Times, there will be mass conversions to this monstrosity from the faithless in the world.
The fig tree has budded. We are almost in the season now.
They’re the “smart” people, don’t you know...
