Christianity is the predominant religion of Switzerland, its presence going back to the Roman era. Since the 16th century, Switzerland has been traditionally divided into Roman Catholic and Reformed confessions. However, adherence to Christian churches has declined since the late 20th century, from close to 95% in 1980 to about 70% as of 2013. Switzerland as a federal state has no state religion, though most of the cantons (except for Geneva and Neuchâtel) recognize official churches (''Landeskirchen''), in all cases including the Catholic Church and the Swiss Reformed Church. These churches, and in some cantons also the Old Catholic Church and Jewish Congregations, are financed by official taxation of adherents. The Federal Statistical Office reported the religious demographics as of 2013 as follows (based on the resident population older than 15 years): 70.0% ±0.4% Christian (including 38.0% ±0.2% Roman Catholic, 26.1% ±0.2% Reformed, 5.8% ±0.1% other), 22.2% ±0.2% nonreligious, 5.1% ±0.1% Muslim, 0.25% ±0.02% Jewish, 1.32% ±0.04% other religions.〔 (100%: 6,744,794, registered resident population above 15 years). Roman Catholic: 2'5 62'396 ±0.5%; Reformed: 1'762'892 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Religion in Switzerland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
