The Guardian - 'Christianity as default is gone': the rise of a non-Christian Europe. Figures show a majority of young adults in 12 countries have no faith, with Czechs least religious.
Tuesday 20 March 2018
Europe’s march towards a post-Christian society has been starkly illustrated by research showing a majority of young people in a dozen countries do not follow a religion.
The survey of 16- to 29-year-olds found the Czech Republic is the least religious country in Europe, with 91% of that age group saying they have no religious affiliation. Between 70% and 80% of young adults in Estonia, Sweden and the Netherlands also categorise themselves as non-religious.
The most religious country is Poland, where 17% of young adults define themselves as non-religious, followed by Lithuania with 25%.
70% of young people in the UK identify with no religion.
59% of young people in the UK never attend religious services.
Nearly two-thirds of young people in the UK never pray.
