Religion in Germany
Christianity is the largest religion in Germany, with an estimated 60.5%〔 of the country's total population being member of various Christian denominations. However, the 2011 census reported a slightly higher percentage of 66.8% for adherents of Christianity.〔''()''. Zensus 2011 - Page 10.〕 The second largest religion is Islam with approximately 4 million adherents (5% of the total population), of which 1 million (1.2%) have German citizenship.〔http://www.state.gov/j/drl/rls/irf/2007/90177.htm "A quarter of Muslims in Germany hold German citizenship. Rest are most Turkish nationals"〕 There is also a smaller but growing presence of other religions such as Buddhism, Hinduism and Judaism.〔(Germany is one of the few European countries with a Jewish community that is growing. There are an estimated 250,000 Jews in Germany, half of whom are affiliated. Berlin is a favorite city among Israelis. )〕
During the last decades, the two largest churches, namely the Protestant Evangelical Church in Germany and the Roman Catholic Church, have lost significant number of adherents. Both accounted for about 29% of the population in 2014.〔〔(Bevölkerung und Katholiken, 1965–2008 )〕 An estimated 33.5% of the country's population is not affiliated with any church or religion and around 1% of the population belongs to some other religious group.〔
Since the reunification of Germany the number of non-religious people has grown, especially because of the former East Germany was a communist puppet state. Various churches were put under the pressure by the communist government for roughly 40 years, resulting in people's abandonment of religion.
