    Categorizing Japan as irreligious shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the nature of religion and religious observance. While a majority of Japanese people would not describe themselves as religious, the vast majority *do* regularly visit shrines and temples, engage in religious observances, and participate in religious practices.
    Further, in many (non-Abrahamic) regions there is no contradiction in being a part of multiple religions. In China there is not necessarily a contradiction between Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism. In other words (as "Hello Future Me" would put it) "Religion is complicated!"

      Yeah, could be that with more educated people, more people get better scientific explainations for phenomenon otherwise credited to god.
      Or maybe it is that education and a lack of desperation for money/food enables a more critical view of everything around them, and since religion often has lots of stuff that doesn’t make sense, more maybe turn to atheism/being less religious.

    This is a very complex issue and it is very difficult to correctly estimate religious trends in the future and those surveys are not very reliable. For example, I am from Serbia and here a vast majority of population is going to say that they are religious if you ask them that. But in reality most of them don't go to church, don't pray and fast. Churches in Serbia are literally empty on Sundays. And still all of those people would say that they are religious. But they really don't care about religion.

      @@shyamashyam391 I am not sure if atheists have a place in Hinduism as it is generally assumed that a Hindu would have faith in at least one of many Hindu Gods. But unlike some Muslim and Christian parents around the world, Hindu parents don't care if their child is becoming an atheist. I was born in a Hindu family. Everyone in my family knows that I am an atheist and no one really cares. This is generally true for almost all Hindu households in India. But one of my schoolmates was a Muslim. He became an atheist like me but scared to death to keep that secret from reaching his family. Even to this date, he is living under the closet pretending to follow Islam. In that regard, Hindus should be applauded for respecting those who reject their beliefs and want to leave the religion whenever they want. As far as I know, no other religion in the world does that like Hinduism. I appreciate Hinduism for that. And I hope this democratic religion will not be ruined by any political party in India.

Sure, the spiritual beliefs of an 'unaffiliated' person may go beyond the definitions of atheism. But if what you care about is whether those people are likely to be influenced by religion on how they vote, how they identify politically, how they spend their sundays, or their views on social issues...etc. then the difference becomes slightly immaterial.

The church liked expanding their religion on to people in the past, and almost each time it has failed with thousands dead, sometimes it could transform people into Christians, but at the cost of their life i.e forcing people to change faith and when they dont they f their life up like when they took kids form their families in Canada saying it was for "education" but in reality they were just transforming the next generation of the indigenous people, so when the previous generation died the rest would be chrsitian

We can only go to heaven from his mercy, not by our own actions, our actions are just a prove to ourselves of how much invested we are in this relationship with God, it’s not a bribe to go to heaven.

    2:40 and 4:15 This difference is because the first poll only asked "Is religion important in your life". So while only 27% of the UK says religion is important for them, many are still relgious. This difference in how important religion is for people could just be an effect of liberalisation and equal freedom of relgion in many western countries, so while many people are religious people just accept that, the diversity of relgion (including non religious) so they view the importance of it differently.

      It is a fact that most countries in the 90s and even in the 80s dont have religious freedom, the true numbers are likely lower than the reported ones
      And , in a similar way, secular countries that prosecute religion ( such as China )
