The religiosity of Romanians

A study by the Pew Research Center, published on 5 December 2018, has revealed that Romanians are the most religious people in Europe: 55% say they are "very religious".

The study was conducted in 34 European countries, classified according to 4 religion-related criteria: importance of religion; attendance at religious services; frequency of prayer; belief in God.

The study showed that 50% of Romanians (4th place) say that religion is very important in their lives, 50% (2nd place) attend a religious service at least once a month, 44% (3rd place) pray daily and 64% (4th place) are absolutely sure that God exists. After analysing the results, it emerged that Romanians are the most religious of all Europeans.

According to the same research centre, religion is less important for Europeans than for people in Africa, Latin America or the United States. Similarly, Central and Eastern Europeans are more likely to be very religious than Western Europeans.
