This statistic presents the perceived proportion of Muslim citizens (out of 100) in Europe in 2018. According to data published by Ipsos, with the exception of Turkey, all the countries in this statistic overestimated the number of Muslims in their country.

This statistic shows the percentage of migrants alive today who have moved to Europe, by religious affiliation. As of 2010, 57 percent of all immigrants to Europe were Christians.

The average for 2013 based on 9 countries was 28.7 percent. The highest value was in Estonia: 74.7 percent and the lowest value was in Russia: 0.7 percent. The indicator is available from 1960 to 2013. Below is a chart for all countries where data are available.

This dataset contains regional-level information on religious typologies across various European territories. Each record is expected to classify regions into religious categories (e.g., Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox, Mixed, or other denominations), providing insight into Europe’s diverse religious landscape. Such data supports research in historical sociology, cultural geography, and studies exploring how religious composition correlates with political, economic, and social developments across different European regions.

This statistic shows religious diversity in Europe in 2010, by share of religious population. In 2010, around 75 percent of population, in Europe, identified as Christian.

This table provides Census 2021 estimates that classify people by Country of birth (12 categories) by Religion or religion brought up in for Northern Ireland. The table contains 48 counts.

The census collected information on the usually resident population of Northern Ireland on census day (21 March 2021). Initial contact letters or questionnaire packs were delivered to every household and communal establishment, and residents were asked to complete online or return the questionnaire with information as correct on census day. Special arrangements were made to enumerate special groups such as students, members of the Travellers Community, HM Forces personnel etc. The Census Coverage Survey (an independent doorstep survey) followed between 12 May and 29 June 2021 and was used to adjust the census counts for under-enumeration.

Between 1991 and 2001, the number of Roman Catholics in Canada increased slightly, while the number adhering to Protestant denominations continued a long-term decline. The census enumerated just under 12.8 million Roman Catholics, up 4.8%, while the number of Protestants fell 8.2% to about 8.7 million. The largest gains in religious affiliations occurred among faiths consistent with changing immigration patterns toward more immigrants from regions outside of Europe, in particular Asia and the Middle East. (Other religions: Moslem, Christian Orthodox, Jewish, Hindu, Sikh and Buddhist.)

This statistic shows the number of migrants who immigrated to the European Union, classified by their religious affiliation. As of 2010, approximately 26.4 million immigrants in the EU were Christians. That equals 56 percent of all immigrants to the EU.

These data were collected for a study of how the characteristics of political parties influence women's chances in assuming leadership positions within the parties' inner structures. Data were compiled by Fatima Sbaity Kassem for a case-study of Lebanon and by national and local researchers for 25 other countries in Asia, Africa and Europe. The researchers collected raw data on women in politics from party administrators and government officials. Researchers gathered information about parties' year of origin, number of seats in parliament, political platform, and all gender-disaggregated party data (in percentages) on overall party membership, shares in executive and decision-making bodies, and nominations on electoral lists. A key variable measures party religiosity, which refers to the religious components on their political platforms or the extent to which religion penetrates their political agendas.

Only parties that have at least one seat in any of the last three parliaments were included. These are referred to as 'relevant' parties. The four data sets combined cover 330 political parties in Lebanon plus 12 other Arab countries (Algeria, Bahrain, Comoros, Djibouti, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Mauritania, Morocco, Palestine, Tunisia, and Yemen), seven non-Arab Muslim-majority countries (Albania, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Indonesia, Senegal, and Turkey), five European countries with dominant Christian democratic parties (Austria, Belgium, Italy, Germany, and the Netherlands), and Israel.

The ATLAS of Religious or Belief Minority Rights is a cross-disciplinary project that quantitatively maps and measures the legal rights of religious or belief minorities (RBMs) across European Union (EU) Member States:

1. Data on religious or belief minority rights were collected through thematic Questionnaires on domains - defined as policy areas - such as public schools, spiritual assistance, legal status, family and marriage and religious/belief symbols. National legal experts provided responses, which were validated and structured into indicators and clusters. These were then aggregated to build three indices: the P-Index (promotion and respect of rights), the E-Index (equal treatment among minorities) and the G-Index (majority-minority rights gap).
2. Once all numerical data were defined and validated, the following step was to organize and verify the assigned scores. A Masterplan – an Excel file – was created for each policy area, listing the questions taken into consideration, the 16 States covered, and the 13 religious or belief organizations involved (RBOs). Each cell contains the relevant indicator (the answer) and its assigned score, while an additional column was included to record a brief description of the legal basis or reference supporting that assessment.

According to a survey on police stop rates in Europe in 2019, approximately * in * Muslims surveyed advised that the police had stopped them in the last 12 months. By comparison, ** percent of respondents with no religion said that they had been stopped by the police, whereas only ** percent of Christians said they had stopped them.

Recent research not only confirms the existence of substantial psychological variation around the globe but also highlights the peculiarity of many Western populations. We propose that part of this 15 variation can be traced back to the action and diffusion of the Western Church, the branch of Christianity that evolved into the Roman Catholic Church. Specifically, we propose that the Church’s transformation of European kinship, by promoting small, nuclear households, weak family ties and residential mobility, fostered greater individualism, less conformity and more impersonal prosociality. By combining data on 24 psychological outcomes with historical measures of both Church exposure and kinship, we find support for these ideas in a comprehensive array of analyses across countries, among European regions and between individuals from different cultural backgrounds.

This data set allows the replication of the analyses reported in the main text and the supplementary material of the manu...

This feature layer was created using Census 2016 data produced by the Central Statistics Office (CSO) and NUTS 3 boundary data (generalised to 100m) produced by Tailte Éireann. The layer represents Census 2016 theme 2.4, population by religion. Attributes include population breakdown by religion (e.g. catholic, other religion, no religion). Census 2016 theme 2 represents Migration, Ethnicity and Religion. The Census is carried out every five years by the CSO to determine an account of every person in Ireland. The results provide information on a range of themes, such as, population, housing and education. The data were sourced from the CSO. NUTS 3 boundaries generalised to 100m. The Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS) were drawn up by Eurostat in order to define territorial units for the production of regional statistics across the European Union. The NUTS classification has been used in EU legislation since 1988, but it was only in 2003 that the EU Member States, the European Parliament and the Commission established the NUTS regions within a legal framework (Regulation (EC) No 1059/2003). The Irish NUTS 3 regions comprise the eight Regional Authorities established under the Local Government Act, 1991 (Regional Authorities) (Establishment) Order, 1993 which came into operation on January 1st 1994. The NUTS 2 regions, which were proposed by Government and agreed to by Eurostat in 1999, are groupings of the Regional Authorities.

This statistic displays the results of survey regarding religious beliefs among Christians in western Europe in 2017. Christians who attend church are unsurprisingly the most likely to believe in god as described in the bible with ** percent of them giving this answer. A majority of non-practicing Christians believe in a high-power or spiritual force, while just under a quarter of them believe in god as described in the bible.
