HOW STRONGLY DIFFERENT COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD FEEL ABOUT RELIGION, IN ONE GRAPH
Data from the Pew Research Center's 2015 Global
Attitudes survey has measured how people around the world feel about religion
in their lives.
Ethiopia in the Horn of Africa topped the list of
nationalities which consider religion most important, with 98 per cent of
respondents who said that the Ethiopian Orthodox Church is a very important
part of who they are.
Senegal and Indonesia, which are both predominantly
Muslim, come in at number two (97 per cent) and three (95 per cent)
respectively, but many countries with religious plurality such as Nigeria (a
mix of Islam and Christianity) and India (mainly Hindu) are still near the top
of the list with 88 per cent and 80 per cent respectively.
Generally speaking, religion is more important to
people in poorer countries than in richer ones - but the US, where 53 per cent
of people feel strongly about their religion, bucks the trend, with the
highest-ranking entry out of all advanced economy nations.
Religiosity is in decline in the West, but growing
elsewhere, mainly due to differences in projected population growth.
