For the first time in modern German history, more Germans identify as religiously unaffiliated than as Roman Catholics or Protestants, according to a new survey published by Weltanschauungen research group, the Christian Daily website reports today (April 30, 2025). The 2024 data reveal that 47% of Germany's population -- an estimated 39 million people -- now consider themselves to have no religious affiliation. In contrast, the combined number of Protestants and Roman Catholics stands at 38 million, or 45% of the population.
The shift marks a significant milestone in Germany's religious landscape and underscores the ongoing decline in membership among the country's two historically dominant Christian denominations
Over one million church members left the church in 2024.
