Religion in the European Union

Self-described religion in the European Union (2012)

Religion in the European Union is a diverse matter with significant levels of belief in all EU member states. The largest religion in the EU is Christianity, which accounts for 72% of EU population, with its largest denominations being Roman Catholicism, Protestantism (especially in the north), and Eastern Orthodoxy. Smaller groups include those of Islam, Buddhism, Judaism, Hinduism, and some East Asian religions, most concentrated in Britain and France. Also present are revival movements of pre-Christianity European folk religions including Heathenism, Rodnovery, Romuva, and Druidry.

Over the last several decades, religious practice has been on the decline in a process of secularisation.Eurostat's Eurobarometer Opinion Poll showed in 2010 that 20% of EU citizens don't believe there is any sort of spirit, God or life force. Many countries have experienced falling church attendance and membership in recent years.

The countries with the most people reporting no belief in any sort of spirit, God or life force are France (40%), the Czech Republic (37%), Sweden (34%), the Netherlands (30%), Estonia (29%), Germany (27%), Belgium (27%) and Slovenia (26%). The most religious countries are Romania (1% non-believers) and Malta (2% non-believers). Across the EU, belief is more common with age and is higher amongst women, those with only basic education, and those "positioning themselves on the right of the political scale (57%)".
