Christianity is a dying religion for millennials in Europe

The Continent was once the home of the majority of the world’s Christians, but today many people between the ages of 16 and 29 claim they have no religious affiliation. In general, a high percentage of young people throughout Europe never attend religious services, never pray and don’t identify with any religious group. In fact, there are only three countries in Europe where more than one in 10 young people said they attend a religious service weekly: Poland, Portugal and Ireland.

A full 91 percent of young people from the formerly communist country say they don’t identify with any religion, and 70 percent said they never attend a religious service. In countries like Estonia, Sweden and the Netherlands, between 70 and 80 percent of all young people say they have no religious affiliation.
