That’s the case here in Norway too. I was baptised in the Lutheran church as a baby and confirmed as a teenager because of family tradition reasons instead of religious reasons and that’s the norm here. We go to confirmations, weddings and funerals in the church and we celebrate Christmas etc. but we don’t go to the church regularly or follow any religious rules or practices. I was never raised in the church. My mom has never been very religious and has the mindset that she’s open to the possibility, but she doesn’t fully believe unless there’s proof. My dad used to be less religious than my mom but since he married my stepmom he’s gotten more religious, my stepmom is probably the most religious person I know and even she only attends church occasionally so that says a lot about how religion works over here. I am probably the least religious of my family as my siblings have gotten a bit more religious as they’ve grown older while I’ve gone the opposite direction and gotten more atheist as I’ve grown older. I will probably be the one family member to not keep the family tradition of baptizing my future children as babies because I believe my kids deserve the right and freedom to choose wether or not they want to partake in religion when they’re old enough to make that decision for themselves.

In modern world, however, people tend to explain things with science, but religion is still mainstream because it is taught by parents to children.

Paradoxically, that's what made me a full-fledged atheist so to speak because I discovered so many absurds and inconsistencies that the whole thing started to make even less sense. As a massively Christian country, religion is huge here and though my opinion is mainly respected, I get a few weird looks from time to time and people questioning me in some absurd ways like "how can you have morals without a religion?".

We have no lottery and have been slow to legalize weed ... even tho infamous for Maui Wowie and weed grown in Hawaii it netted vastly more than the sugarcane. The Hawaiian and Polynesian people tend to be very Christian ... even when those looney missionaries banned their language and dance. Anyway, the Maori people suffered the same fate culturally at the hands of the missionaries but compliance with Christianity remains strong. The Maori people comprise 17% of the NZ population. Aboriginal people are only 3.3% of Australia. The Hawaiians are 10% of Hawaii, but it is also diverse with Shinto, Buddhism and then any woo woo wack-a-mo Guru who comes to town.

A little correction for the numbers in Israel- The number of atheists in Israel is 25% (including agnostics). I think the confusion comes from the cultural difference and language barrier since the 60% that was referred to in that video are secular people, not atheists. In Israel a person who considers themselves secular can still believe in god, practice their religion etc, but not be too strict about it. For example, I believe in god, keep kosher, celebrate the holidays, and fast on fasting days but I would still be considered secular. It's a bit of a weird concept for non Israelis but Israel is a pretty religious country as a whole.

Question, why do you consider yourself secular? Sure, you can believe in a Creator and still live your life on laws and subjective opinions of your own or somebody elses, but if something is from the Creator and it has empirical data backing it, why ignore it, that would be an objective source? In some religions that would be looked upon as hypocritical. Just curious, to me secular and religion doesn't go together, the definition of secular is basically not having a strong religious belief, so even if someone still believes that there is a God or something there whilst being secular, is that really a true believer and follower of a specific religion? Should that then count in these lists? I would call these "secular believers" more like cultural believers, you go to the holy buildings because of your culture and upbringing, you remember holidays and stories through culture and family, but because the religion isn't the main part of your life and something that you establish your world view on, I don't think that that person is religious.

The people who don’t believe in gods or believe in them in a separate sense (as enlightened people, as yantras only, etc) are not wrong in identifying themselves as Hindu because that’s what they are culturally, Charvakas would be defined as Hindus if they were met by foreign travellers in the past.

@Varun can you elaborate on what you mean by hindu natiks vs hindu atheists? And buddhism has hells ( from wikipedia - " The Dīrghāgama or Longer Āgama-sūtra (Ch. cháng āhán jīng 長阿含經),[9] was translated to Chinese in 22 fascicles from an Indic original by Buddhayaśas (Fotuoyeshe 佛陀耶舍) and Zhu Fonian 竺佛念 in 412-13 CE.[10] This literature contains 30 discrete scriptures in four groups (vargas). The fourth varga, which pertains to Buddhist cosmology,[11] contains a "Chapter on Hell" (dìyù pǐn 地獄品) within the Scripture of the Account of the World (shìjì jīng 世記經). In this text, the Buddha describes to the sangha each of the hells in great detail, beginning with their physical location and names ") gods ( "A Deva (देव Sanskrit and Pāli, Mongolian tenger (тэнгэр)) in Buddhism is a type of celestial beings or gods who share the god-like characteristics of being more powerful, longer-lived, and, in general, much happier than humans, although the same level of veneration is not paid to them as to Buddhas.") and also afterlife (" In each rebirth one is born and dies, to be reborn elsewhere in accordance with one's own karma.[19] It is perpetuated by one's avidya ("ignorance"), particularly about anicca (“impermanence”) and anatta, (“no-self”)[20][21] and from craving.[note 5] Samsara continues until moksha is attained by means of insight and nirvana.[") just like there is in hinduism, this is why they are all considered dharmic religions. Yoga also does not have personal gods and is demonstrably hindu, has always been, so you cannot claim hinduism always necessarily has multiple gods. Hinduism is not a strictly defined religion, vedism or brahmanism may be but hinduism is a cultural term - a foreigner in premedieval times visiting India would call _all_ Indians hindus. I don't know how they define sanatan dharma but it is not the same as hinduism. And about the brahmins, how is it a lie if they do accept such sects? Doesn't the acceptance make that a truth?

🌹 Religion as exposed by the Real Illuminati 🔘 No religion has ever been able to establish peace and harmony on Earth. Religion has an excuse as to why it has never accomplished this. Each places the blame on those outside of their particular religion: Gentiles, infidels, sinners, and those whom they consider lost or who refuse to join them. Their excuse is that, if everyone would just join their religion, the world would be saved. 🔘 Three of the world's main religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, claim that no matter how hard each tries, none will ever be successful at creating peace and harmony on Earth until their particular Messiah comes to Earth (or returns to Earth) with the power and authority to create heaven throughout the world. None of these religions believe that mortals can do it on their own. Ironically, these three religions, more than any of the others, have been the main cause of most of the carnage and death throughout modern history. Consider for a moment what would happen to these three religions if humankind actually solved all of its own problems without the help of a Messiah. Or perhaps, maybe, there wouldn't be any problems if these three religions didn't exist. If we were to solve our own problems, not only would these three religions not be needed, but their identity and worth would be greatly diminished, as well as the self-esteem, self-worth, and self-value that their members gain from belonging to them.🌿 🔘 Unfortunately, most people fall under the spell of these false messengers, who don't have any better understanding of the Real Truth than the seeker who pays them for an understanding. The false messengers pay comes in a wide variety of forms. Most receive actual money or other relevant material goods for their services. But ALL receive a payment that is more enticing than all the money in the world: power over another person, respect and standing, and accolade-laced value from their followers.🌿 🔘 The Roman and American governments were not and are not successful at controlling their people through military power. Instead, they were and are able to control their people by another power that is stronger than any physical power on Earth: BELIEF.🌿 🔘 The most successful book in the world is the Bible. It was created by the few to control the rest. It is a fantasy that has been presented by the few as "fact" in order to provoke certain behaviors from the majority. It actually details a list that God checks twice in order to find out who's naughty or nice. If God checks His list and finds out you're nice, you're going to be saved and go to heaven. If you're naughty, you're going to hell lat least according to the stories of the Bible).🌿 🔘 When your mortal life ends, no matter how it ends, you will immediately be aware that you continue to exist. You will recognize that your True Self is an advanced human of incredible intelligence and individual power (free will). You will then know that YOU are the only god that has ever existed in your experience. You will realize that all the times upon Earth when you felt the presence of "God" or your "conscience," you were actually feeling the connection that your mortal avatar had with your True Self. You will know these Real Truths about your own Self, but also about every other human with whom you shared your earthly experience. You will know that each person who lives on Earth is actually connected to their True Self. You will know that there is no other god outside of YOU, outside of EACH of US. At that time, you will recognize exactly what has corrupted the mortal experience and destroved humanity. You will understand that, unless confronted and eliminated, this culprit (this CAUSE of the problem), will destroy our Fortnite-end our lives upon Earth. This culprit is religion. Religion lies to us and tells us that we are not our own god, but are subjected to (or enslaved by) the god that religion has invented to control our actions. Religion teaches us to not depend on ourselves for our own salvation. Religion teaches us that we must depend upon "God," even if this god allows us to experience such a miserable mortal life. We are taught about this God by religious leaders who personally benefit from the lie. If we were convinced that there is no god other than US, outside of the "god within," then we could unite and do what we must do in order to save Earth and all of humanity. Thus convinced, religion would no longer exist, and those who promoted religion for their own gain might cry out, "Oh mountains and rocks, fall on us, and hide us from this Real Truth!"🌿

I think at least in the case of East Asian countries, there's some confusion over what's "religious." For example, can Shintoism be regarded as a religion? Some people categorize it as a "belief system" because it contains more than one God. As a Chinese, I can tell that most people are not "strictly religious" but definitely not 100% atheist. For instance, most elders go to buddhist and taoist temples praying for good fortune for the family. Young people can also visit temple praying for their study/work/etc. Can those practices be counted as religious? So, I think if focusing on the major religions, Japan and China can top the list, but if we take those local practices (some may regard them as religious while others not), the results may be more complicated.

In other words, what they do and what they believe are two separate things, and the people otherwise live completely secular lives. However, the number of atheists in Japan is exaggerated.

the problem in these rankings is how the percentages of believers and non-believers are calculated, affiliation to a religion is often a choice of parents for children that does not correspond to their actual number, because many of those children have become atheists over time but they continue to be calculated among believers. For example in my country, Italy, society is highly secularized and many people define themselves as Christians more for a cultural question than for a real religious faith, Italians behave in this as they usually do, there are rules but they accept only the part of the rule that is useful to them, they do not care about everything else and go on their way, the importance of religion in Italy is one of the greatest mystifications of this country.

Theism” and “Atheism” and all other forms of THEISM is a western/Abrahamic construct. There are no words for “theism” in Sanskrit because Hinduism is not about “belief” it is about practice known as DHARMA, hence the proper name for Hinduism is Sanātana Dharma - the Perennial Philosophy of Life. Bearing in mind the term Hinduism is also a foreign coinage and is nowhere mentioned in any Hindoo text. Dharma is defined as follows. yatobhyudaya-niḥśreyasa-siddhiḥ sa dharmaḥ Dharma is that strategy by which the material flourishing and the Supreme Good or Mokṣa (cessation of dukha or suffering) is achieved. To practice Dharma, belief in a God or Gods is not required, it is an accessory and can be helpful in orientating some people to practice. There are devotional sects within Hinduism that believe that the Ultimate Good or Liberation (mokṣa) comes through Divine Grace and other sects believe it is through self-striving and Self-realization (jñāna) without the intervention of a God. The Gita teaches that both are possible but the path of Devotion (Bhakti) is much easier. Often a belief in a God can lead to the opposite of human flourishing and the Highest Good. History bears testimony to this. Rami Sivan

There is definitely a problem in most of Europe with having too many historic churches and not enough people to fill them. For example, one ceremonial county in England (Norfolk) has 650 medieval churches (built before 1485) - and that’s only 1 of 48 counties in England alone! The only city in Norfolk (Norwich - which isn’t very big at all), has 36 large medieval churches and 2 cathedrals just within the city centre. It takes SO much money to preserve all of those religious buildings, and that’s without even considering those built after 1485…

[@nbartlett6538]

Not really a problem. They can be converted to homes, non-religious community centres, sports facilities...

[@tamaracarter1836]

@@nbartlett6538 Yes I have definitely seen that done. But with the churches I’m talking about here (i.e. ones built before 1485), it’s a little more tricky. Because, for one, they are generally architecturally important. Meaning 99% of them are going to be heavily listed and protected, and that makes it almost impossible to change their use into a house (or basically anything other than a church/ events space). Which is fine, because at least that way they can still utilised by local members of the community. Something else that’s interesting to mention here, is that because there are so many thousands of medieval churches surviving in the English countryside, you can, on occasion, come across them standing quite literally in the middle of nowhere (surrounded by nothing but fields). I believe this is due to the village/ town that would have once built the church being entirely killed off by plague… and therefore they are often known as “plague churches”. These are the hardest to find a use for, seeing as they’re often far from surrounding communities. Anyway, their use is not really too important, it’s more about the cost of upkeep. Especially in this region of England, where even tiny village churches are often found on a very grand scale (it was an area rich during the medieval era), and generally have quite a lot of remaining medieval glass/ painting/ woodwork that takes extra care and attention. However, luckily for us in England, we have countless preservation organisations and charities that look after them - which do an amazing job. So the vast majority of their futures are safe and secure. I was just pointing out the scale of such a task overall, seeing as in the county of Norfolk alone there are 650 pre-1485 churches, and hundreds more built thereafter.

[@nbartlett6538]

@@tamaracarter1836 Thanks for the extra context. Though I'm an atheist I'm also keen to see these churches preserved as part of our historical heritage and for their architectural value. I think that local communities could get more value from these buildings if the CofE moved out, freeing them up for secular use. As you point out, attendance at church services is minimal, they don't all need to be kept as working churches just for the sake of 10 people on a Sunday morning...
