Most and least religious countries of the world
In a survey conducted September 2014 - December 2014 by WIN/Gallup International the following question was asked of 63,898 people from 65 countries (around 1000 people from each country):
Irrespective of whether you attend a place of worship or not would you say you are
1) a religious person
2) not a religious person
3) a convinced atheist
4) do not know/no response?
The results were as follows:
