TOPIC OF THE WEEK Global Religion 2023: Religious Beliefs Around The World, A Survey Across 26 Countries uThis page is devoted to opinions of countries whose polling activity is generally not known very widely or where a recent topical issue requires special attention.
Global Religion 2023: Religious Beliefs Around The World, A Survey Across 26 Countries Kant, one of the most recognized philosophers in history, had the firm belief that life should be oriented to believe in a higher being and hope for a future life after death, a hypothesis that, as confirmed by the data of the latest Ipsos study "Global Religion 2023: Religious beliefs around the world" is still valid, since, on average, 61% of the world's population says they believe in God or some higher force. However, there are 21%, on average, who challenge that theory and say they do not believe in anything. In Spain, only 44% of the population says they believe in God or a superior force compared to 32% who declare not to believe in anything. Those who believe in God as described in the holy scriptures drops to 23%, a percentage similar to those who claim to believe in a higher force but not in God (22%). Belief in God or a higher force plays an important role in believing people Thus, on average, 76% of the world's population affirms that believing in God helps them overcome crises such as diseases, conflicts, catastrophes ..., the same percentage indicates that it gives meaning to their lives, and 71% say that it makes them happier than others. In national terms, all percentages are below the global average, since 67% of Spanish citizens affirm that having faith in God or in a higher power allows them to better overcome crises; 65% say it gives meaning to their lives and 62% that it allows them to be happier than other people. Do we go to places of worship to pray? The data indicate that no The study reveals that, on average, 44% of people in the world prefer to pray at home or another space instead of in a place of worship. On the contrary, on average, only 28% choose to go to a temple to pray. In Spain, 29% of the population also chooses their home or other space to pray, while 18% go to the place of worship, a figure that is the third highest in Europe after Poland (38%) and Italy (23%). How does society value the role of religion as a whole? Religion is one of the aspects that defines the societies of each country, and in many cases has shaped the cultural and lifestyle environment. Therefore, the study also delves into analyzing factors such as coexistence between religions. In this regard, on average, 76% of the world population says that they feel comfortable sharing space with other people who have different beliefs, a figure that in Spain is 8 points lower, (68%), and although it is a majority of people, it should be noted that it leaves the country as the second with the lowest data on the continent , with Germany having a lower percentage, with 56%. In fact, Spain is among the countries that most think that religion does more harm than good to the world, 9 points more than the global average (47%).
