Report:Young People in Europe Rejecting Rel.; Majority in Dozen Countries Have No Religion

A new report, published by theology professor Stephen Bullivant from St. Mary's University in London, claims young people in Europe are turning their backs on Christianity, the Euro News website reports today (March 21, 2018).


The research reveals a majority of young people in a dozen European countries say they are not affiliated to a religion. The Czech Republic tops the list, with 91 percent of its young adults having no religion.


A previous study by the Pew Research Center in 2015 said Europe's Christian population is expected to shrink by around 100 million people in the coming decades.


It projected that while Christians will remain the largest religious group in Europe, Muslims will make up 10 percent of the continent's population by 2050, up from 5.9 percent in 2010.
