COMMENTARY     

source
24th December 2009 		If you click on the source link "World Values Survey" it looks like this might have been from 10 years ago.
I am a Christian
6th December 2009 		I don't know if this is true or not, but it is scary to se so little of the world holding onto their religion.
Mark Mergaerts
1st December 2009 		Same remark for Belgium. 44% is ludicrous, all recent research (and "recent" here means 1980s and later) puts the figure at less than 10%.
grandmaster
20th November 2009 		There's not a chance in hell that 27% of people in the UK attend church at least once a week. The real figure is probably closer to 2.7% (no exaggeration).

Even more ridiculous is the figure stating that more than a third of people in Turkey are regular church goers. Turkey is like 95% Muslim!
Salih
2nd October 2005 		I agree with ottawan, as a Turk, I know that the 43% of people attend the church.Turkey is not a christian country..
Sam
22nd June 2005 		Religion is not important. Good will, common sense, and logical thinking is all we need, not illogical cults like religion. Long live science.
